Presenter: Béla Bollobás 院士
Date: 2018-12-03
Location: 逸夫科技楼二楼多功能厅
Abstract:

Many of the best cryptographers and cryptanalysts of the last four centuries were mathematicians, but mathematicians as codebreakers really came to prominence in World War II. In my talk I shall say a few words about the prominent codebreakers over many centuries and about the life of the greatest of them all. The main part of my talk will concern the mathematical achievements of this greatest codebreaker. I shall make great effort to make my talk accessible to people knowing no sophisticated mathematics.

 

嘉宾简介:Béla Bollobás, 匈牙利裔英国数学家,英国皇家学会会员,匈牙利科学院院士,欧洲科学院院士,波兰科学院外籍院士。他在包括泛函分析、组合、图论和渗流理论等领域都有重要贡献。
