John Mark Guckenheimer (born 1945) joined the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University in 1985. He was previously at the University of California, Santa Cruz (1973-1985). He was a Guggenheim fellow in 1984, and was elected president of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), serving from 1997 to 1998.[1] Guckenheimer received his A.B. in 1966 from Harvard and his Ph.D. in 1970 from Berkeley, where his Ph.D. thesis advisor was Stephen Smale.[2][3]
His book Nonlinear Oscillations, Dynamical Systems and Bifurcation of Vector Fields (with Philip Holmes) is an extensively cited work on dynamical systems.
