Hans-Joachim Bremermann
1926-1996
German-American mathematician who made important contributions to the theory of locally convex spaces, which are spaces having local areas that are convex and are mathematically described with rather complex equations. Bremermann was able to take his contributions to this branch of mathematics and apply them to areas of physics, electrical theory, and electrical circuit design, emphasizing the importance of the boundary values of analytic functions.
