Roy Lee Adler (February 22, 1931 – July 26, 2016[2]) was an American mathematician.

Adler earned his Ph.D. in 1961 from Yale University under the supervision of Shizuo Kakutani (On some algebraic aspects of measure preserving transformations).[3] He then worked as a mathematician for IBM at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center.

Adler studies

Avraham Trakhtman in 2007 came from him, along with L. W. Goodwyn and Benjamin Weiss
.

He was a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4] A paper was written on his work and the impact of his work by Bruce Kitchens and others.[5]
