Terence Tao was the winner of the 2014 Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. He is the James and Carol Collins Chair of mathematics at UCLA and the youngest person ever to be promoted to full professor at the age of 24. In 2006 Tao became the youngest ever mathematician to win the Fields Medal. His other honours include the George Polya Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (2010), the Alan T Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation (2008), the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize (2006), the Clay Research Award from the Clay Mathematical Institute (2003), the Bocher Memorial Prize from the American Mathematical Society (2002) and the Salem Prize (2000).
This is a well-written book, providing a very accessible
introduction for those with a solid background in probability and
analysis. It is a terrific introduction to the subject, as the
author constantly emphasizes where the various techniques can and
cannot be used, and why. The author has succeeded in providing a
good tour through an important part of random matrix theory, and
readers will be well-prepared to continue further after reading
this book." - Mathematical Reviews
"The text is well-written and contains a large number of exercises,
many of which are crucial for the main text. It will provide a good
starting point for everybody interested in this area who has a
solid background in measure theory and probability." - Springer
