Autoren-Porträt von Ian Stewart, Tim Poston
Ian Stewart was born in 1945, educated at Cambridge (MA) and Warwick (PhD). He has five honorary doctorates and is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Warwick University. He has published over 80 books including Does God Play Dice?, Professor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities, Why Beauty is Truth, Flatterland, What Shape is a Snowflake?, Nature's Numbers, Professor Stewart's Incredible Numbers, Seventeen Equations that Changed the World, and the bestselling series The Science of Discworld I, II, III, and IV with Terry Pratchett and Jack Cohen. His new book Calculating the Cosmos will appear in September 2016 followed by Infinity: a Very Short Introduction in 2017.His awards include the Royal Society's Faraday Medal, the Gold Medal of the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications, the Public Understanding of Science Award of the AAAS, and the LMS/IMA Zeeman Medal. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2001 and currently serves on Council, its governing body. His Letters to a Young Mathematician won the Peano Prize and The Symmetry Perspective won the Balaguer Prize. His app Incredible Numbers (Profile and TouchPress) wont the Digital Book World award for adult nonfiction, and he shared the Lewis Thomas Prize for Writing about Science with Steven Strogatz in 2015. In Pursuit of the Unknown has been chosen to receive the MAA's Euler Book Prize award in January 2017.
He delivered the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures on BBC television in 1997. The final lecture began by bringing a live tiger into the lecture room. He has made over 400 radio broadcasts and 80 television appearances.

frequent radio and television appearances, including the 1997 Christmas Lectures. He is an active research mathematician with over 190 published papers, and works on pattern formation, chaos, network dynamics, and biomathematics.
He lives in Coventry, England.
Tim Poston is an interdisciplinary scientist, with a 1972 Mathematics PhD from the University of Warwick, England. He has since worked in universities from Brazil to South Korea, and in companies ranging from start-ups to GE, in sciences and technologies from ophthalmology to archaeology. Much of this work has led to books and other publications (87, with 2,148 citations on ResearchGate), some to patents (currently 26 issued, several pending), from search presentation technology to glyph rendering, calibrating magnetic resonance receiver coils, the 5-dimensional geometry of real binary quartics, vibration spectra of crystals, brain surgery planning, settlement patterns in archaeology, rod buckling, vision (human and machine), and 3D medical image analysis.
For the last two decades his chief concerns have been in the acquisition and analysis of medical images, and practical human-machine interaction; in April 2013 he joined Forus Health in Bangalore, exploring novel ways to analyse images of the eye with the practical goal of fighting blindness with widely deployable, affordable equipment.
In 2003, with Rebecca, his wife of 49 years (and joyfully counting), he published Tales of Unexplained Mysteries, fantasy stories for and about Singapore teens, of different groups and times.
In 2015 he impersonated Dumbledore's smarter older brother at Bangalore Comic Con, and gave a keynote at the Fifth Elephant big data conference.
He enjoys change and simultaneity quakes.
