ABOUT BENEDICT'S WORK
Benedict Gross is a mathematician who has contributed decisively to number theory, algebraic geometry, modular forms and group representations.
Gross has investigated the special values and derivatives of L-series modular forms and has helped to obtain a limit formula using canonical heights on curves. This limit formula offers a new approach to the classical problem of finding the solutions of cubic equations. His work also has led to the resolution of a problem on the class numbers of quadratic fields, which dates back to the nineteenth-century mathematician, Karl Friedrich Gauss.
BIOGRAPHY
In addition to his numerous journal publications, Gross is the author of Arithmetic on Elliptical Curves with Complex Multiplication (2000) and co-author of The Magic of Numbers (2004), based on his course in quantitative reasoning, which provides a readable introduction to the patterns that emerge in number behavior and the often surprising applications of those patterns. Gross has held teaching appointments at Princeton University (1978-1982), Brown University (1982-1985) and since 1985, at Harvard University. He is the George Vassmer Leverett Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University and became the Dean of Harvard College in 2003.
Gross received a B.A. (1971) and a Ph.D. (1978) from Harvard University, and a M.Sc. (1974) from the University of Oxford.

关于本尼迪克特的工作
本尼迪克特-格罗斯是一位数学家,他对数论、代数几何、模块形式和群表示作出了决定性的贡献。
格罗斯研究了L系列模块形式的特殊值和导数,并帮助获得了一个使用曲线上的典范高度的极限公式。 这个极限公式为寻找立方体方程的解的经典问题提供了一个新的方法。 他的工作还导致解决了一个关于二次元场的类数问题,这个问题可以追溯到19世纪的数学家卡尔-弗里德里希-高斯。
传记
除了在杂志上发表的大量文章外,格罗斯还是《椭圆曲线上的算术与复数乘法》(2000年)的作者和《数字的魔力》(2004年)的合著者,该书基于他的定量推理课程,对数字行为中出现的模式以及这些模式经常令人惊讶的应用提供了一个可读的介绍。 格罗斯曾在普林斯顿大学(1978-1982)、布朗大学(1982-1985)任教,自1985年起在哈佛大学任教。 他是哈佛大学的George Vassmer Leverett数学教授,并在2003年成为哈佛学院院长。
格罗斯在哈佛大学获得学士学位(1971年)和博士学位(1978年),并在牛津大学获得理学硕士学位(1974年)。
