  • Jonathan Michael Borwein (born 1951) is a Canadian mathematician noted for his prolific and creative work throughout the international mathematical community. He is a close associate of David H. Bailey, and they have recently been among the most prominent public advocates of Experimental mathematics in North America. Borwein was Shrum Professor of Science (1993–2003) and a Canada Research Chair in Information Technology (2001–08) at Simon Fraser University, and was founding Director of the Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics. In 2004, he (re-)joined the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University as a Canada Research Chair in Distributed and Collaborative Research, cross-appointed in Mathematics, while preserving an adjunct appointment at Simon Fraser. He was born in St. Andrews, Scotland in 1951, and received his D. Phil. from Oxford University in 1974 as a Rhodes Scholar at Jesus College. Prior to joining SFU in 1993, he worked at Dalhousie University (1974–91), Carnegie-Mellon (1980–82) and the University of Waterloo (1991–93). He has received various awards including the Chauvenet Prize (1993), Fellowship in the Royal Society of Canada (1994), Fellowship in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2002), an honorary degree from Limoges (1999), and foreign membership in the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (2003). Borwein is Governor at large of the MAA (2004–07), a past president of the Canadian Mathematical Society (2000–02) and past chair of (the National Science Library) NRC-CISTI's Advisory Board. He is Member at Large of the Westgrid Executive. and chairs the International Math Union's Committee on Electronic Information and Communications (2002–2006). His interests span pure mathematics (analysis), applied mathematics (optimization), computational mathematics (numerical and computational analysis), and high performance computing. He has authored ten books (most recently two on Experimental Mathematics and a monograph on Variational Analysis) and over 250 journal articles, and is co-founder (1995) of a software company which produces highly interactive CD and network tools primarily for school and university mathematics.
  • Jonathan Michael Borwein ist ein kanadischer Mathematiker. Er gehört mit seinem Bruder Peter Borwein und David Bailey zu den profiliertesten Vertretern der experimentellen Mathematik, das heißt des Auffindens neuer Sätze durch computer-algebraische und numerische Berechnungen. Borwein studierte als Rhodes-Stipendiat am Jesus College in Oxford, wo er 1974 promoviert wurde. Danach war er 1974 bis 1991 an der Dalhousie University, abgesehen von der Zeit 1980 bis 1982 an der Carnegie Mellon University, 1991 bis 1993 an der University of Waterloo und seit 1993 Professor an der Simon Fraser University. Dort ist er Gründungsdirektor des Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics. 1993 erhielt er den Chauvenet-Preis. 1994 wurde er Fellow der Royal Society of Canada. Er ist Mitglied der American Academy of Arts and Sciences und der bulgarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. 1999 wurde er Ehrendoktor in Limoges. 2000 bis 2002 war er Präsident der kanadischen mathematischen Gesellschaft. Er ist im Rat der Mathematical Association of America (MAA). 1995 war er Mitgründer einer Software-Firma für interaktive Software für Mathematikunterricht an Schulen und Universitäten.
