Six UNL mathematicians named AMS fellows
Six UNL mathematicians have been invited to join a prestigious national organization’s inaugural class of fellows. The first class of American Mathematical Society (AMS) fellows includes: professors Luchezar Avramov, Jim Lewis, David Manderscheid and Judy Walker and emeriti professors Roger Wiegand and Sylvia Wiegand.
“The selection of six members of our faculty for this honor is evidence of the strength of UNL’s Department of Mathematics. Only 62 institutions worldwide had five or more fellows - including 11 of our peer CIC institutions,” said Ellen Weissinger, Senior Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. “This is a powerful validation of the importance of the work being accomplished by our mathematics faculty. It is a privilege to have these six outstanding scholars among our colleagues.” Read more about these fellows in Today@UNL.
