Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Template wrapper".Script error: No such module "Check for clobbered parameters". Sylvain Edward Cappell (born 1946), a Belgian American mathematician and former student of William Browder at Princeton University, is a topologist who has spent most of his career at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU, where he is now the Silver Professor of Mathematics.
He was born in Brussels, Belgium and immigrated with his parents to New York City in 1950 and grew up largely in this city.[1] In 1963, as a senior at the Bronx High School of Science, he won first place in the Westinghouse Science Talent Search for his work on "The Theory of Semi-cyclical Groups with Special Reference to Non-Aristotelian Logic." He then graduated from Columbia University in 1966, winning the Van Amringe Mathematical Prize.[2]
In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[3] Cappell was elected and served as a vice president of the AMS for the term of February 2010 through January 2013.[4][5] In 2018 he was elected to be a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[6]
