Heinrich Wilhelm Brinkmann

Heinrich Wilhelm Brinkmann (born November 29, 1898 - † February 4, 1989 ) was an American mathematician.

Brinkmann studied at Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in 1920 (and an instructor in 1920) and at Harvard University with a master's degree in 1923 and a doctorate under George David Birkhoff in 1925 ( Contribution to the theory of Riemann surfaces ). He was an Instructor at Harvard from 1921 to 1922 and 1925 to 1927 and Benjamin Peirce Instructor at Harvard from 1924/25. From 1926 to 1933 he was a tutor and then an assistant professor and later professor at Swarthmore College , which he remained until 1969. He also taught at Bryn Mawr College at times .

Brinkmann dealt with analysis. According to Emmy Noether (correspondence with Hasse) he proved Artin's conjecture about the entirety of Artin-L functions for certain groups, but did not publish anything about it.

He was married to Elisabeth Wermott Kellogg Brinkmann (1902–1987). Brinkmann is buried in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
