Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement. Presented annually by the American Mathematical Society, the Steele Prize is one of the highest distinctions in mathematics. The prize will be awarded today at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego, California. Professor Stein is being honored "for his fundamental contributions to various aspects of analysis, including the theory of singular integrals, commutative and noncommutative harmonic analysis, and analysis of functions of several complex variables." Besides his contributions through his own research and excellent monographs, Stein has worked with and influenced many students, who have gone on to make profound contributions of their own.
