The Dearborn Democrat said Tuesday that President Barack Obama picked mathematician Hyman Bass for the President's Committee on the National Medal of Science. Bass won the medal in 2006.
The University of Michigan's website says that Bass's publications "cover broad areas of algebra with connections to geometry, topology, and number theory."
