Richard Beals

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard William Beals (born May 28, 1938 in Erie , Pennsylvania ) is an American mathematician who deals with partial differential equations and functional analysis .

Beals studied at Yale University with a bachelor's degree in 1960, a master's degree in 1962 and a doctorate with Felix Browder in 1964 ( Non-Local Boundary Value Problems for Elliptic Partial Differential Operators ). In 1965/66 he was Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago , where he became an assistant professor in 1966 and later professor. In 1977 he became a professor at Yale University.

Beals deals with (inverse) scattering theory , integrable systems, pseudo differential operators , complex and global analysis and transport theory. He has been married since 1962 and has three children.

He is not to be confused with the mathematician professor at Rutgers University , R. Michael Beals (* 1954).
