Furstenberg and Smale receive 2007 Wolf prize

Harry Furstenberg and Stephen Smale have been awarded the 2007 Wolf Prize in mathematics, which is one of the big lifetime achievement awards.

These are two of the living legends in dynamical systems (among other fields), and I'll finally get to see Smale give a talk next week at MSRI. (Back when I was a senior at Tech, he once dissed me by e-mail, though I doubt he remembers that.)
