Percy Deift is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Integrable systems; the Riemann-Hilbert steepest descent method
Percy Deift is a South African-born American mathematician at NYU's Courant Institute known for work on integrable systems and for developing, with Xin Zhou, the Riemann–Hilbert steepest-descent method for the asymptotic analysis of nonlinear problems and random matrices. His techniques became central tools in modern analysis and mathematical physics. He is listed among Jewish figures in mathematics.
