Langlands received his PhD from Yale University in 1960. During the 1960's he developed the theory of Eisenstein series, initiated by Selberg. Though his work was strong, he failed to receive tenure at Princeton University. He spent a year in Turkey, working in isolation, during which time he had profound insights. His subsequent work shook mathematics. |

Jacquet and Langlands developed an idea of the Russian mathematicians, that representation theory is the setting for the theory of automorphic forms. Using every tool at their disposal, they gave a surprisingly complete theory of automorphic forms on GL(2) establishing important casew of functoriality. |
