If Dr. Schramm had been born three weeks and a day later, he would almost certainly have been one of the winners of the Fields Medal, perhaps the highest honor in mathematics, in 2002.

A constant theme in Schramm's research was the exploration of relations between discrete models and their continuous scaling limits, which for a number of models turn out to be

This technique has had a profound impact on the field. It has been recognized by many awards to Schramm and others, including a 1153: 1105: 746: 1439: 1414: 285: 96: 636: 371: 261: 117: 1347: 779: 590: 329:
