The Bocher Award, one of the highest honors in mathematics, has been given to Prof. Norman Levinson of Harvard University for his “contributions to the theory of linear, nonlinear, ordinary and partial differential equations contained in his papers of recent years.” The presentation was at the sixtieth annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society, at Johns Hopkins University.
The Bocher Award is made once every five years in memory of Prof. Maxime Bocher for “notable research memoir in analysis.” Professor Levinson’s citation, mentioning his contributions to the theory of differential equations, said the contributions “include studies of asymptomic behavior of solutions, stability questions, existence of period solutions and perturbations theory.”
