Lillian Beatrix Pierce is a mathematician whose research connects number theory with harmonic analysis.{{r|duke}} She was one the first mathematicians to prove nontrivial upper bounds on the number of elements of finite order in an ideal class group.{{r|lost}} She won the 2018 Sadosky Prize for research that "spans and connects a broad spectrum of problems ranging from character sums in number theory to singular integral operators in Euclidean spaces" including in particular "a polynomial Carleson theorem for manifolds".{{r|sadosky}} She is an associate professor of mathematics at Duke University, and a von Neumann Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.{{r|cv}} Pierce was home-schooled in Fallbrook, California{{r|duke|val|nyt}} and began playing the violin at age four.{{r|inclined}} By age 11 she began performing professionally as a violinist.{{r|duke}} As a teenager, she also started taking classes at a local community college, accumulating so many units that some of the universities she applied to refused to consider her for freshman admission.{{r|inclined}} She entered Princeton University majoring in mathematics but intending to pursue an MD–PhD program;{{r|flapan}} under the influence of faculty mentor and undergraduate thesis supervisor Elias M. Stein, her interests shifted towards pure mathematics.{{r|duke|flapan|val}} As an undergraduate, she also became an intern at the National Security Agency.{{r|duke}} She was Princeton's 2002 valedictorian and became a Rhodes Scholar, repeating two accomplishments of her brother Niles Pierce from nine years earlier.{{r|val}} She earned a master's degree at the University of Oxford in 2004.{{r|cv|duke}} Returning to Princeton for doctoral study in mathematics, she completed her Ph.D. in 2009. Her dissertation, Discrete Analogues in Harmonic Analysis, was supervised by Stein.{{r|cv|mgp}} After postdoctoral studies with Roger Heath-Brown at Oxford and at the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany, she became an assistant professor at Duke in 2014.{{r|cv|duke}} In 2018, she was awarded the Association for Women in Mathematics Sadosky Prize. [1] Her husband, Tobias Overath, also works at Duke as a neuroscientist.{{r|duke}} References1. ^{{citation|title=Sadosky Prize|url=https://awm-math.org/awards/awm-sadosky-research-prize/awm-sadosky-research-prize-2018/|accessdate=26 January 2019}} [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]2. ^{{citation|url=https://today.duke.edu/2014/09/pierce|magazine=Duke Today|publisher=Duke University|date=September 26, 2014|first=Robin|last=Smith|title=Lillian Pierce: A head for pure mathematics}} 3. ^{{citation|journal=Notices of the American Mathematical Society|url=http://www.ams.org/publications/journals/notices/201710/rnoti-p1170.pdf|title=Lillian Pierce Interview|first=Laure|last=Flapan|editor-first=Alexander|editor-last=Diaz-Lopez|pages=1170–1172|volume=64|issue=10|date=November 2017}} 4. ^{{citation|journal=Princeton Weekly Bulletin|date=March 5, 2001|volume=90|issue=19|url=https://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/01/0305/7a.shtml|title=Inclined to succeed: USA Today First-teamer Lillian Pierce pursues interests ranging from mathematics to music|first=Ruth|last=Stevens}} 5. ^{{citation|magazine=Quanta Magazine|title=New Number Systems Seek Their Lost Primes|first=Kevin|last=Hartnett|date=March 2, 2017|url=https://www.quantamagazine.org/ideal-numbers-seek-their-lost-primes-20170302}} 6. ^{{mathgenealogy|id=134595}} 7. ^{{citation|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/21/nyregion/home-schooling-graduates-students-jittery-about-college-first-are-doing-well.html|title=Home Schooling Graduates; Students, Jittery About College at First, Are Doing Well Academically and Fitting In Socially|first=Debra|last=Nussbaum|date=May 21, 2000|newspaper=The New York Times}} 8. ^{{citation|journal=Notices of the American Mathematical Society|department=Mathematics People|url=https://www.ams.org/publications/journals/notices/201708/rnoti-p924.pdf|volume=64|issue=8|page=925|title=Pierce Awarded Sadosky Prize|date=September 2017}} 9. ^{{citation|url=https://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/02/0603/6a.shtml|journal=Princeton Weekly Bulletin|volume=92|issue=27|date=June 3, 2002|publisher=Princeton University|title=Selection as valedictorian a family affair for the Pierces|first=Ruth|last=Stevens}} }} Further reading
