Stuart Sheldon Antman is an American mathematician. He is Distinguished University Research Professor at the University of Maryland.[1] His research involves continuum mechanics, elasticity, and nonlinear partial differential equations.
Antman did his undergraduate studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, graduating in 1961.[1] He earned a Ph.D. in 1965 from the University of Minnesota, under the supervision of William H. Warner.[2] He joined the New York University faculty in 1967, and moved to Maryland in 1972. He became Distinguished University Professor at Maryland in 2001, and Distinguished University Research Professor in 2014.[1]
Antman became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2009,[1] and a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.[3] He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1978, and with John M. Ball he won the Theodore von Kármán Prize in 1999.[1] In 1987 Antman won a Lester R. Ford Award.[4] and in 2015 the Lyapunov Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Antman is the author of the book Nonlinear Problems of Elasticity (Springer, 1995; 2nd ed., 2005).[5][6]
