Adriaan "Aad" Cornelis Zaanen (born June 14, 1913 in Rotterdam , † April 1, 2003 in Wassenaar ) was a Dutch mathematician who dealt with functional analysis .
Life
Zaanen received his doctorate in 1938 under Johannes Droste at the University of Leiden (Over reeksen van eigenfuncties van zekere randproblemen). Then he was a math teacher at the Higher Civic School in Rotterdam. In addition, he taught at the TH Delft from 1946 and was a private lecturer at the University of Leiden. From 1947 to 1950 he was a professor at the Institut Teknologi Bandung , was then professor at the Technical University of Delft and from 1956 professor at the University of Leiden.
