Random matrix theory (RMT) was introduced into the theoretical physics community by Eugene Wigner in the 1950s as a model for scattering resonances of neutrons off large nuclei. In multivariante statistics, random matrix models were introduced in the late 1920s by John Wishart and subsequently developed by Anderson, James and others. Since these early beginnings RMT has found an extraordinary variety of mathematical, physical and engineering applications that, to name some, include number theory, stochastic growth models, tiling problems and wireless communications.
