Jonathan Michael Borwein (20 May 1951 – 2 August 2016)[1][2] was a Scottish mathematician who held an appointment as Laureate Professor of mathematics at the University of Newcastle, Australia. He was a close associate of David H. Bailey, and they have been prominent public advocates of experimental mathematics.
Borwein's interests spanned pure mathematics (analysis), applied mathematics (optimization), computational mathematics (numerical and computational analysis), and high performance computing. He authored ten books, including several on experimental mathematics,[3] a monograph on convex functions, and over 400 refereed articles.[4] He was a co-founder in 1995 of software company MathResources,[5] consulting and producing interactive software primarily for school and university mathematics. He was not associated with MathResources at the time of his death.
Borwein was also an expert on the number pi and especially its computation.[6][7]
