American musician and mathematician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Anthony Viscardi (born February 22, 1989, in Plano, Texas) of San Diego, California, is an American mathematician who, as a highschooler, won the 2005 Siemens Competition and Davidson Fellowship with a mathematical project on the Dirichlet problem, whose applications include describing the flow of heat across a metal surface, winning $100,000 and $50,000 in scholarships, respectively.[1][2] Viscardi's theorem is an expansion of the 19th-century work of Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet.[3] He was also named a finalist with the same project in the Intel Science Talent Search. Viscardi placed Best of Category in Mathematics at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May 2006.
