Peter Lax was born in Hungary in 1926. He received his PhD in 1949 from New York University. From 1950 to 1958 he was a staff member at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and since then he has been Professor at New York University. At NYU he has served as Director of the AEC Computing and Applied Math Center, Director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Director of the Courant Mathematics and Computing Laboratory.  Prof. Lax is also the member of the North American Advisory Board of BSM.

Peter D. Lax is one of the greatest theoretical and applied mathematicians of our times who has made significant contributions to various fields, including classical analysis, functional analysis, partial differential equations, fluid dynamics, solitonic physics, numerics, and others. His name is connected with many major mathematical results and numerical methods, such as the Lax-Milgram Lemma, the Lax Equivalence Theorem, the Lax-Friedrichs Scheme, the Lax-Wendrof Scheme, the Lax Entropy Condition, the Lax-Levermore Theory, etc.
