The UCSD Mathematics Department is pleased to announce that
Richard Marzo, Bridget Lao,and Michael D'Anna have been named as the 2002 - 2003
winners of the Errett Bishop Scholarship in Mathematics. These awards are given annually, through the
Financial Aid Office, to undergraduate Mathematics majors who have an excellent academic record and are in

Helen Bishop, Errett Bishop's mother, established the scholarship
to honor Professor Bishop's deep interest in undergraduate students
and his support of those who wished to advance in their knowledge of
Mathematics. Professor Bishop was an internationally renowned
mathematician who was one of the founders of UCSD's mathematics
program. Errett Bishop made significant advances in the area of
mathematical analysis during the period 1954 to 1964. The great depth
of his discoveries and remarkable originality of his thought brought
him recognition as one of the world's leaders in his area of
mathematics.

He later turned to the philosophical foundations of
mathematics. He successfully developed a large area of mathematical
analysis about which he published the book Foundations of
Constructive Analysis (McGraw-Hill, 1967). The work set the stage for
a revision of mathematical thinking. Errett Bishop was a Sloan
Foundation Fellow, a member of the National Research Council, and a
member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
