Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
It is my extremely sad duty to report that Jerry Marsden passed away<br>
yesterday evening, September 21, 2010. He died at home in Pasadena,<br>
with his wife Barbara and daughter Alison at his side.<br>
<br>
Jerry was an amazing intellectual, a gifted professor and one of the<br>
finest colleagues that I have met. He was a great mentor to many of our<br>
Caltech students and our younger colleagues. We will miss him greatly<br>
and remember him always.<br>
<br>
Below I have appended a short biography. I will keep you informed about<br>
services as the details are known. The family has asked that no flowers<br>
be sent, but instead contributions be made in Jerry's name towards a<br>
scholarship fund or the Pasadena dog rescue Mutts and Moms, P.O. Box<br>
50303, Pasadena, CA 91115.<br>

Biography - Professor Jerrold E. Marsden---<br>
<br>
Professor Jerrold E. Marsden received his B.Sc. in Mathematics at the<br>
University of Toronto in 1965, followed by a Ph.D. in Applied<br>
Mathematics from Princeton University in 1968. He joined Caltech as<br>
Professor of Control & Dynamical Systems in 1995 and was appointed the<br>
Carl F Braun Professor in 2003. He had a distinguished career in<br>
theoretical mechanics and applied mathematics and has been both<br>
inspiration and motivation for many.<br>
<br>
Professor Marsden's research interests have spanned a wide range of<br>
areas, including classical mechanics, fluid mechanics, elasticity,<br>
geometric mechanics, control theory, dynamical systems, numerical<br>
methods, relativity, and stochastic systems. The key principle<br>
underlying his work has been the application of geometric ideas,<br>
frequently revealing an underlying unity between disparate disciplines.<br>
He has been instrumental in connecting deep mathematical concepts with<br>
theoretical mechanics and practical applications, producing foundational<br>
work on the geometric analysis of fluid mechanics and the reduction of<br>
mechanical systems with symmetries on symplectic manifolds. These ideas<br>
have led to important advances in diverse fields including space mission<br>
design, underwater vehicle control, turbulence modeling, and<br>
computational mechanics.<br>
<br>
Professor Marsden was well-known as an accomplished educator. He<br>
authored six undergraduate mathematics textbooks that are very popular,<br>
as well as fourteen monographs, many of which are the definitive<br>
references in their fields. He has been an important influence on the<br>
careers of many young researchers, with over 40 Ph.D. students of his<br>
own, many postdocs, and much informal mentoring. His open-mindedness and<br>
collaborative spirit have connected many researchers, resulting in over<br>
400 papers.<br>
<br>
The contributions of Professor Marsden have been widely recognized by<br>
the community. He has received the Jeffery-Williams Prize (1982), the<br>
AMS-SIAM Norbert Wiener prize (1990), two Humboldt Prizes (1991, 1999),<br>
a Fairchild Fellowship (1992), a Max Planck Research Award (2000), and<br>
the SIAM von Neumann Prize (2005). He is a fellow of the Royal Society<br>
of Canada and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. In 2006 he was<br>
elected Foreign Member of the Royal Society. In the same year, he also<br>
received an honorary doctorate from the University of Surrey and the GSC<br>
Teaching and Mentoring Award at Caltech.<br>
<br>
As well as his important personal work, Professor Marsden has been a<br>
major catalyst in the community, where his good humor and kindness have<br>
been very valuable. He is an editor of six Springer book series in<br>
applied mathematics and is on the editorial boards for over ten<br>
prominent journals in applied mathematics and dynamics. He served as<br>
director of CIMMS, the Center for Integrative Multiscale Modeling and<br>
Simulation at Caltech. He served as the founding Director of the Fields<br>
Institute (1991-1994) and was a member of the Council of the American<br>
Mathematical Society (1995-1998) and the SIAM Board of Trustees<br>
(2005-2008).<br>
<br>
Jerry was scheduled to receive The Thomas K. Caughey Dynamics Award from<br>
the ASME-Applied Mechanics Division this coming November in Vancouver.<br>
This award is given in recognition of an individual who has made<br>
significant contributions to the field of nonlinear dynamics through<br>
practice, research, teaching, and/or outstanding leadership. Jerry was<br>
to receive it for fundamental contributions to the dynamical theory of<br>
mechanical systems and inspirational work as an educator. ---<br>
