Graduate Texts In Mathematics
Graduate Texts in Mathematics (GTM) () is a series of graduate-level textbooks in mathematics published by Springer-Verlag. The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are yellow books of a standard size (with variable numbers of pages). The GTM series is easily identified by a white band at the top of the book. The books in this series tend to be written at a more advanced level than the similar Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and difficulty level.

Graduate School
Postgraduate education, graduate education, or graduate school consists of academic or professional degrees, certificates, diplomas, or other qualifications usually pursued by post-secondary students who have earned an undergraduate (bachelor's) degree. The organization and structure of postgraduate education varies in different countries, as well as in different institutions within countries. The term "graduate school" or "grad school" is typically used in North America, while "postgraduate" is more common in the rest of the English-speaking world. Graduate degrees can include master's and doctoral degrees, and other qualifications such as graduate diplomas, certificates and professional degrees. A distinction is typically made between graduate schools (where courses of study vary in the degree to which they provide training for a particular profession) and professional schools, which can include medical school, law school, business school, and other institutions of ...

William Arveson
William B. Arveson (22 November 1934 – 15 November 2011) was a mathematician specializing in operator algebras who worked as a professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. Biography Arveson obtained his Ph.D. from UCLA in 1964 with thesis advisor Henry Dye and thesis ''Prediction theory and group representations''. Of particular note is Arveson's work on completely positive maps. One of his earlier results in this area is an extension theorem for completely positive maps with values in the algebra of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space. This theorem led naturally to the question of injectivity of von-Neumann algebras in general, which culminated in work by Alain Connes relating injectivity to hyperfiniteness. One of the major features of Arveson's work was the use of algebras of operators to elucidate single operator theory. In a series of papers in the 1960s and 1970s, Arveson introduced noncommutative analogues of several concepts from classical ...

(2002Complex geometry: collection of papers dedicated to Hans Grauert Springer. Together with Reinhold Remmert he established and developed the theory of complex-analytic spaces. He became professor at the University of Göttingen in 1958, as successor to C. L. Siegel.

Career Namioka taught at Cornell University until 1963, when he moved to the University of Washington. There he was the doctoral advisor to four students. He has over 20 academic descendants, largely through his student ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Wermer
John Wermer was a mathematician specializing in complex analysis. Wermer received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1951 under the supervision of George Whitelaw Mackey. He became an instructor at Yale University, after which he was hired as a professor at Brown University in 1954. He retired in 1994. In 1962 Wermer was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Stockholm. In 2012, Wermer became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

Frank Spitzer
Frank Ludvig Spitzer (July 24, 1926 – February 1, 1992) was an Austrian-born, Jewish-American mathematician who was a longtime professor at Cornell University and made fundamental contributions to probability theory, especially the theory of random walks, Brownian motion, and fluctuation theory, and then the theory of interacting particle systems. Other areas he made contributions to include percolation theory and the Wiener sausage. He focussed broadly on "phenomena", rather than any one of the many specific theorems that might help to articulate a given phenomenon. His book ''Principles of Random Walk'', first published in 1964, remains a well-cited classic. Spitzer was born on July 24, 1926, in Vienna, into an Austrian Jewish family. By the time he was twelve years old, the Nazi threat in Austria was evident. His parents were able to send him to a summer camp for Jewish children in Sweden, and, as a result, Spitzer spent all of the World War II years in Sweden. He lived w ...
