Arthur J. Lohwater

Arthur John "Jack" Lohwater (October 20, 1922 - June 10, 1982 in Cleveland) was an American mathematician.

He obtained a Ph.D. in mathematics at University of Rochester (1951), on the dissertation "The Boundary Values of a Class of Analytic Functions", advised by Wladimir Seidel. [ [http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=7726 entry] at Mathematics Genealogy Project] Later he joined the faculty at University of Michigan and Case Western Reserve University.He was editor of Mathematical Reviews (1962-65). [ [http://www.ams.org/publications/60ann/AJLohwater.html entry] at American Mathematical Society (with picture)] With Norman Steenrod and Sydney Gould he established important ties with Russian mathematicians, beginning with a conferences in Moscow (1956, 58) andresulting in a dictionary.Lohwater died after long illness.
