Mark Ainsworth is a British mathematician. He is the Francis Wayland Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University.[1]

Education

Ainsworth studied mathematics at Durham University, where he graduated in 1986 with first-class honours and received the Collingwood Memorial Prize for the strongest performance in final exams.[2][3] He completed his doctorate in 1989 from the same institution under the supervision of A. W. Craig.[3][1]

Research and career

Ainsworth held the 1825 Chair at the University of Strathclyde before joining Brown University.[1]

He received the Whitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society in 2004 for his contributions to numerical analysis.[4]
