Series: Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume II, 1949. Offprint. [325]-330 pp. Original printed wrappers. Very good. Grad was an American applied mathematician, specializing in the work of statistical mechanics to plasma physics and magnetohydrodynamics. He received his bachelors in electrical engineering from Cooper Union in 1943 and his masters at NYU in 1945. Grad did his doctoral work under Richard Courant and graduated in 1948. His thesis was on the approximation of the Boltzmann Equation by torque. His honors/ awards consist of the Eringen Medal in 1982. In 1986 the James Clerk Maxwell Prize in Plasma Physics from the American Physical Society, and in 1970 he became a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice in 1970 and in Stockholm in 1962. Today the Courant Institute offers the Harold Grad Memorial Prize to outstanding performance and promise as a graduate student. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers S13265
