Elias Stein is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Harmonic analysis; singular integrals and oscillatory integrals
Stein was one of the great figures of modern harmonic analysis, developing the theory of singular integrals, oscillatory integrals and real-variable methods that reshaped the field, and he trained generations of leading analysts at Princeton. He won the 1999 Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the 2005 National Medal of Science. Born into a Jewish family in Antwerp, he fled Belgium with his family when the Nazis invaded in 1940, reaching the United States.
