William Bade
William George Bade (born May 29, 1924 in Oakland , California , † August 10, 2012 ) was an American mathematician who studied Banach algebras and functional analysis .
William Bade studied at Caltech with a bachelor's degree in 1945 and at the University of California, Los Angeles , with a master's degree in 1948 and a doctorate with Angus Taylor in 1951 (dissertation: An Operational Calculus for Operators with Spectrum Confined to a Strip ). As a postdoctoral fellow he was from 1952 to 1955 at Yale University , where he met Philip C. Curtis , with whom he became friends and worked closely in mathematics. In 1955 he became an assistant professor at Berkeley and was given a full professorship there in 1964. For a long time he was Deputy Head of Graduate Studies. In 1991 he retired.
With Curtis, he was a pioneer in the study of radical Banach algebras, an infinite-dimensional generalization of the rings of nilpotent matrices .
He had been married to Elly Bade since 1942 and had six children.
