Richard Askey

Richard Allen Askey (born June 4 1933) is an American mathematician, known for his expertise in the area of special functions. The Askey–Wilson polynomials are an important schematic in organising the theory of special polynomials (his work with James A. Wilson).

Askey earned a B.A. at Washington University in 1955, an M.A. at Harvard University in 1956, and a Ph.D. at Princeton University in 1961. [MathGenealogy|id=8039] After working as an instructor at Washington University (1958–1961) and University of Chicago (1961–1963), he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1963 as an Assistant Professor of Mathematics. He became a full professor at Wisconsin in 1968, and since 2003 has been a professor emeritus. Askey is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and was a Guggenheim Fellow, 1969–1970.
