Timeline
Jacob Palis Jr. (born 15 March 1940) is a Brazilian mathematician and professor.
Palis' research interests are mainly dynamical systems and differential equations.
Some themes are global stability and hyperbolicity, bifurcations, attractors and chaotic systems.
Jacob Palis was born in Uberaba, Minas Gerais.
His father was a Lebanese immigrant, and his mother was a Syrian immigrant.
The couple had eight children (five men and three women), and Jacob was the youngest.
His father was a merchant, owner of a large store, and supported and funded the studies of his children.

At 16, Palis moved to Rio de Janeiro to study engineering at the University of Brazil – now UFRJ.
He was approved in first place in the entrance exam, but was not old enough to be accepted; he then had to take the university's entry exam again a year later, at which again he obtained first place.
He completed the course in 1962 with honours and receiving the award for the best student.
In 1964, he moved to the United States.
In 1966 he obtained his master's degree in mathematics under the guidance of Stephen Smale at the University of California, Berkeley, and in 1968 his PhD, with the thesis On Morse-Smale Diffeomorphisms, again with Smale as advisor.
In 1968, he returned to Brazil and became a researcher at the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Since 1973 he has held a permanent position as professor at IMPA, where he was director from 1993 until 2003.
He is also a recipient of the 1988 TWAS Prize.

He is a foreign member of several academies of sciences, including the United States National Academy of Sciences, the French Academy of Sciences and German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
In 2010 he was awarded the Balzan Prize for his fundamental contributions in the mathematical theory of dynamical systems that has been the basis for many applications in various scientific disciplines, such as in the study of oscillations.
