Guido Leopold Weiss (born December 29, 1928 in Trieste ) is an American mathematician who deals with harmonic analysis and calculus .

Life

Weiss studied at the University of Chicago , where he obtained his master’s degree in 1951 and his doctorate under Antoni Zygmund in 1956 ( On certain classes of function spaces and on the interpolation of sublinear operators ). From 1955 he was an instructor, 1956 Assistant Professor and from 1959 Associate Professor at DePaul University . In 1960 he was a visiting professor in Buenos Aires and in the same year as a post-doc at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. In 1961 he became an associate professor and in 1963 a professor at Washington University in St. Louis , where he was chairman of the mathematics faculty from 1967 to 1970. Among other things, he was visiting professor at the University of Geneva (1964/65), the University of Paris-Süd (1970/71), the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (1980), in Madrid and Beijing . In 1987/88 he was at MSRI as the organizer of a program on classical analysis.

In 1967 he received the Chauvenet Prize (for his contribution to the book Harmonic Analysis ). In 1994 he received honorary doctorates in Milan and Barcelona.

He was married to mathematician Mary Catherine Bishop Weiss .
