- Joseph H. Silverman
Joseph H. Silverman (born 1955) is currently a professor of mathematics at
Brown University . Joseph Silverman received an Sc.B. from Brown University in 1977 and a Ph.D. fromHarvard University in 1982 under the direction ofJohn Tate . He taught at M.I.T. (1982-1986) and atBoston University (1986-1988) before taking a position at Brown in 1988.Silverman's work has been in
number theory ,arithmetic geometry ,arithmetic dynamics andcryptography . He has published more than 100 research articles, written or coauthored six books, and edited three conference proceedings.In 1996, Silverman, along with
Jeffrey Hoffstein ,Jill Pipher andDaniel Lieman , foundedNTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. to market their cryptographic algorithms,NTRUEncrypt andNTRUSign . Silverman remains a co-VP of NTRU Cryptosystems.Books
Silverman has written two graduate texts on elliptic curves, "The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves" (1986) and "Advanced Topics in the Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves" (1994). For these two books he received a
Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition from theAmerican Mathematical Society , which cited them by saying that “Silverman's volumes have become standard references on one of the most exciting areas of algebraic geometry and number theory.” Silverman has also written an undergraduate text on elliptic curves "Rational Points on Elliptic Curves" (1992, co-authored withJohn Tate ), as well as graduate-level texts "Diophantine Geometry: An Introduction" (2000, co-authored withMarc Hindry ) and "The Arithmetic of Dynamical Systems" (2007).References
