Oxford Mathematician Professor Nick Trefethen, Professor of Numerical Analysis and Head of Oxford's Numerical Analysis Group has been awarded honorary degrees by the University of Fribourg in Switzerland and Stellenbosch University in South Africa where Nick was cited for his work in helping to cultivate a new generation of mathematical scientists on the African continent.

Nick's research spans a wide range within numerical analysis and applied mathematics, in particular the numerical solution of differential equations, fluid mechanics and numerical linear algebra. He is also the author of several very successful books which, as the Fribourg award acknowledges, have widened interest and nourished scientific discussion well beyond mathematics.
