Marsha Berger

Marsha Berger is an applied mathematician and computer scientist at NYU's Courant Institute who pioneered adaptive mesh refinement, a technique that concentrates computational grid resolution where a simulation needs it, transforming the numerical solution of partial differential equations across science and engineering. She won the SIAM/ACM Prize, the Norbert Wiener Prize and the John von Neumann Prize. She is listed among Jewish mathematicians, though her personal background is not detailed in mainstream biographies.
