He received his B.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1965, an M.A. from the University of Waterloo in 1966, and a Ph.D. from Penn State in 1972. Friedlander is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1988), was an invited lecturer at the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zürich and delivered the Canadian Mathematical Society Jeffery-Williams Lecture in 1999.

The background of the result[edit]

It's only on wikipedia's pages that I read that F-Iw Theorem was based specifically on Bombieri's sieve. My recollection is different. Can a true specialist address this issue? (Bombieri was active in the field of sieves but I don't recall any sieve being specifically "Bombieri's sieve". He was rather an early developer of sieves initiated by other mathematicians). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wlod (talk • contribs) 23:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
