The John Butcher Prize in Numerical Analysis
The John Butcher Prize in Numerical Analysis, administered by the New Zealand branch of ANZIAM, was established to recognise Professor John Butcher's long and productive career in numerical analysis, and in particular in the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. He is well known in the international community for his contributions in this area.
In 1966, John was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Head of the Mathematics department at the University of Auckland. Apart from a period of ten years as inaugural Professor of the Computer Science department, he has been associated with the Auckland Mathematics department ever since.
In keeping with John's consistent encouragement of students, the prize is for the best student talk at SciCADE, considering both the academic merit of the content and the presentation itself. The last SciCADE was held in 2011 in Toronto.
The previous winners are:
- 2005 Tatiana Márquez Lago (University of New Mexico at Albuquerque)
- 2007 Thomas Schmelzer (Oxford), Anders Hansen (Cambridge)
- 2009 Ludwig Gauckler (Tübingen)
- 2011 Mohammad Shakourifar (Toronto)
