Praeger’s elite group include Ingrid Daubechies, the current and first woman president of the International Mathematics Union, famous for inventing wavelets that efficiently compress information. Also on the list is David Hilbert, who posed 10 famous mathematical questions. The German mathematician presented 10 from his list of 23 problems to a Paris mathematical conference in 1900. Some are still unresolved or only partly resolved and were influential in 20th century mathematics. “I heard the news when two research colleagues wrote to congratulate me,” W/Professor Praeger said. “I was stunned and then very excited. It’s an amazing and humbling honour.”
