From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jürgen K. Moser or Juergen K. Moser (July 4, 1928, Königsberg, East Prussia – 17 December 1999, Zürich, Switzerland) was a German American mathematician who specialized in dynamical systems. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Göttingen in 1952. He emigrated to the United States in 1953. He became a professor at MIT and later New York University. After 1980 he was at ETH Zurich.

He won the James Craig Watson Medal in 1969 for his contributions to dynamical astronomy and the Wolf Prize in 1995 for his work on stability in Hamiltonian systems and on nonlinear differential equations.
