from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maurice Haskell Heins (born November 19, 1915 in Boston - † June 4, 2015 ) was an American mathematician who dealt with function theory.

Heins studied at Harvard University with a bachelor's degree in 1937 and a master's degree in 1939. He received his doctorate there in 1940 under Joseph Leonard Walsh ( Extremal Problems for Functions Analytic and Single-Valued in a Doubly-Connected Region ). He then worked with Marston Morse at Princeton on topological methods in function theory. From 1942 to 1944 he was Assistant Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology and from 1944/45 as a mathematician in the US Army (Chief Ordnance Office). From 1945 he was at Brown University first as an assistant professor and then with a full professorship. In 1958 he became a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and, after his retirement in 1974, finally a Distinguished Professor at the University of Maryland in College Park , where he remained until 1986.

1940 to 1942 (as Morse's assistant) and 1956/57 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . 1952/53 he was a Fulbright Fellow at the Sorbonne and 1979 visiting professor at the University of Paris VI . In 1963/64 he was visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley .

He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Mathematical Society . In 1956 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .

Heins lived in Wayzata , Minnesota with his wife Hadassah .
