Morris William Hirsch (born June 28, 1933 in Chicago ) is an American mathematician .
Hirsch received his PhD in 1958 from the University of Chicago under Edwin Spanier and Stephen Smale ( Immersions of Manifolds ). Since the 1960s he was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley , where he has now retired. There he worked with Smale on topology ( Hirsch-Smale theory ) and dynamic systems.
His PhD students include William Thurston and William Goldman
He was a Sloan Research Fellow in 1964 and a Miller Fellow in 1972. In 1966 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Moscow (smoothing of piecewise linear manifolds). He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
