Biography

Andrew Appel is the son of mathematician Kenneth Appel, who proved the Four-Color Theorem in 1976.[2] Appel graduated summa cum laude with an A.B. in physics from Princeton University in 1981 after completing a senior thesis, titled "Investigation of galaxy clustering using an asymptotically fast N-body algorithm", under the supervision of Nobel laureate James Peebles.[3] He later received a Ph.D. (computer science) at Carnegie Mellon University, in 1985.[4] He became an ACM Fellow in 1998, due to his research of programming languages and compilers.[5]

In 1981, Appel developed a better approach to the [[n-body problem|Шаблон:Mvar-body problem]] in linearithmic instead of quadratic time.[6]

From July 2005 to July 2006, he was a visiting researcher at the Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique (INRIA), Rocquencourt, France, on sabbatical from Princeton University.Шаблон:Citation needed
