Person: Trudinger, Neil Sidney

Neil Trudinger is an Australian mathematician who worked in the theory of partial differential equations.

In another 1967 paper On Harnack type inequalities and their application to quasilinear elliptic equations Trudinger examines weak solutions, subsolutions and supersolutions of certain quasilinear second order differential equations.
After the award of his doctorate from Stanford University, Trudinger became a Courant Instructor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University during the academic year 1966-67.
In 1977 Trudinger published an important book in collaboration with David Gilbarg.
In following the editions of the famous text by Gilbarg and Trudinger we have become side-tracked from presenting details of Trudinger's career.
Trudinger was elected a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1978 and was awarded their Hannan Medal in 1996.
In the nonlinear analysis section, the prize goes to N S Trudinger of the Australian National University for the paper "Isoperimetric inequalities for quermassintegrals".
Today Trudinger coordinates the Applied and Nonlinear Analysis programme at the Australian National University.

Born 20 June 1942, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.
