Steele Prize }} Harold Mortimer Edwards, Jr. (born August 6, 1936) is an American mathematician working in number theory, algebra, and the history and philosophy of mathematics. He was one of the co-founding editors, with Bruce Chandler, of The Mathematical Intelligencer.[1] He is the author of expository books on the Riemann zeta function, on Galois theory, and on Fermat's Last Theorem. He wrote a book on Leopold Kronecker's work on divisor theory providing a systematic exposition of that work—a task that Kronecker never completed. He has written textbooks on linear algebra, calculus, and number theory. He also wrote a book of essays on constructive mathematics. BiographyEdwards received his Ph.D. in 1961 from Harvard University, under the supervision of Raoul Bott.[2] He has taught at Harvard and Columbia University; he joined the faculty at New York University in 1966, and has been an emeritus professor since 2002.[1] In 1980, Edwards won the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition of the American Mathematical Society, for his books on the Riemann zeta function and Fermat's Last Theorem.[3] For his contribution in the field of the history of mathematics he was awarded the Albert Leon Whiteman Memorial Prize by the AMS in 2005.[4] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5] Edwards is married to Betty Rollin, a former NBC News correspondent, author, and breast cancer survivor.[6] Books
