Jacob Korevaar (born January 25, 1923 in Neth ) is a Dutch-American mathematician who deals with analysis.

Korevaar received his doctorate from Hendrik Kloosterman at the University of Leiden in 1949 ( Approximation and interpolation applied to entire functions ). From 1944 to 1946 he was an assistant for mathematics at the TH Delft . From 1947 to 1949 he was at the newly founded Mathematical Center in Amsterdam and from 1951 to 1953 professor at the TH Delft. In 1953 he became an assistant professor and later professor at the University of Wisconsin and from 1964 he was a professor at the University of California, San Diego , where he headed the mathematics faculty from 1971 to 1973. In 1974 he was again professor at the University of Amsterdam , where he was director of the Mathematical Institute from 1980.

He dealt with complex analysis, Tauber theorems, approximations, Fourier analysis and distributions. In 1989 he received the Chauvenet Prize . The essay also received the Lester Randolph Ford Award in 1987 .

He is a US citizen. Korevaar is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science . In 1978 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Gothenburg . He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . His younger brother Nijs (1927-2016) and his son Jan Jaap (* 1957) took part in the Olympic Games as a water polo player for the Netherlands.
