Prof. Simonett Delivers Final Lecture
Prof. Gieri Simonett, who has been on the Vanderbilt faculty since 1995, delivered his last lecture on April 22, 2026. The class was Math 2501: Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra and the topic of the final lecture was the proof of the fabled Stokes theorem for manifolds. Prof. Simonett has been a dedicated teacher in the Department of Mathematics for over three decades, culminating in him being awarded the Madison Sarratt prize from the Provost’s office in 2025. In honor of Prof. Simonett’s many contributions, the Department Teaching Award for Research Focused Faculty has been renamed as the Gieri Simonett Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Congratulations, Gieri!
