Ernst Hairer (born 19 June 1949)[1] is a professor of mathematics at the University of Geneva known for his work in numerical analysis.
His PhD was completed at the University of Innsbruck.[2]
He is the father of the mathematician Martin Hairer, who won the Fields Medal in 2014.
Hairer is a member of the editorial boards for the journals Mathematics of Computation[3] and Journal of Scientific Computing.[4]
He wrote, with others, Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (Hairer, Nørsett, Wanner) and L'analyse au fil de l'histoire (Hairer, Wanner).
Awards and honors
Hairer holds a doctor honoris causa from the University of Lund.[5][6]
In 2003 he was awarded, jointly with Gerhard Wanner, the Peter Henrici Prize by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.[7]
In 2009 a conference on scientific computing and differential equations was held in honor of his 60th birthday, at the University of Geneva,[1] and in the same year the 7th International Conference in Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics in Crete was dedicated in his honor.[8]
In 2009–2010 he was John-von-Neumann guest professor at the Technical University of Munich.
