Talk:John Friedlander

Plagiarism
The original version of this page contained material that was copied verbatim from the University of Toronto web site. Here is the offending text. Friedlander is one of the world's foremost analytic number theorists and is a recognized leader in the theory of prime numbers and L-functions. 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
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)
