Vietnamese mathematician awarded




Prof.Hoang Tuy is the first recipient of the
Constantin Caratheodory Prize 

HA NOI — Famous Vietnamese mathematician Professor Hoang Tuy has been named the first ever recipient of the Constantin Caratheodory Prize for his pioneering work and fundamental contributions to global optimisation.
Tuy said that unfortunately, he would be unable to attend the awards ceremony in Chania, Greece due to health problems.
Global optimisation is a field of applied math that provides tools for solving real-life problems.
The prize, established by the International Society of Global Optimisation in 2011, will be awarded bi-annually to an individual or group for fundamental contributions to theory, algorithms and applications of global optimisation.


Born in 1927, Tuy is a former director of the Institute of Mathematics, and has also received honourable doctorates from Sweden's University of Linkuping and France's University of Rouen. — VNS
