Arthur Milgram
Arthur Norton Milgram (3 June 1912 – 30 January 1961) was an American mathematician. He made contributions in
Lax–Milgram theorem—a theorem in functional analysis that is particularly applicable in the study of partial differential equations.[1] In the third chapter of Emil Artin's book Galois Theory, Milgram also discussed some applications of Galois theory.[2] Milgram also contributed to graph theory, by co-authoring the article Verallgemeinerung eines graphentheoretischen Satzes von Rédei with Tibor Gallai in 1960.[3]
Milgram was born in Philadelphia, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1937. He worked under the supervision of John Kline [1] (a student of Robert Lee Moore). His dissertation was titled "Decompositions and Dimension of Closed Sets in Rn".
Milgram advised 2 students at
Stanford [7]
) also studied mathematics and received his Ph.D. from Minnesota.
