Hans Weinberger

Hans F. Weinberger (September 27 1928 in Vienna) [ [http://www.math.umn.edu/~hfw/ homepage] ] is an Austrian-American mathematician, known for his contributionsto partial differential equations and fluid dynamics.

He obtained an M.S. in physics from Carnegie Institute of Technology (1948) where he also got his Sc.D. on thethesis "Fourier Transforms of Moebius Series" advised by Richard Duffin (1950). [ [http://www.genealogy.ams.org/id.php?id=10297&fChrono=1 entry] at Mathematics Genealogy Project] He then worked at the institute for Fluid Dynamics at University of Maryland, College Park (1950–60),and as professor at University of Minnesota (1961–98) where he was department head (1967–69) andnow is Professor Emeritus (1998–). Weinberger was the first director of Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (1981–87).
