PROVIDENCE, RI---Henryk Iwaniec of Rutgers University will
receive the 2002 Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Number Theory.
Presented every three years by the American Mathematical Society,
the prize recognizes outstanding contributions to mathematical
research in number theory. The prize will be awarded today at the
Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, California.
Professor Iwaniec is being honored for fundamental contributions
to analytic number theory, especially for his papers:
(with J. Friedlander) "The polynomial X2 +
Y4 captures its primes," Ann. Math. 148 (1998),
945-1040;
(with W. Duke and J. Friedlander) "Bounds for automorphic
L-functions I,II,III," Invent. Math. 112 (1993), 1-8; 115
(1994), 219-239; 143 (2001), 221-248;
(with B. Conrey) "The cubic moment of central values of
automorphic L-functions," Ann. Math. 151 (2000), 1175-1216;
and
(with P. Sarnak) "The non-vanishing of central values of
automorphic L-functions and Landau-Siegel zeros," Israel J.
Math. 120 (2000), part A, 155-177.

Founded in 1888 to further mathematical research and
scholarship, the 30,000-member American Mathematical Society
fulfills its mission through programs and services that promote
mathematical research and its uses, strengthen mathematical
education, and foster awareness and appreciation of mathematics and
its connections to other disciplines and to everyday life.
