Kurt Mahler is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Number theory; transcendence and Mahler measure
Kurt Mahler was a German-born mathematician who made deep contributions to number theory, including transcendence theory, his classification of transcendental numbers, and the Mahler measure of polynomials. He was Jewish and fled Nazi Germany, working in Britain and later Australia. His self-taught rise from ill health and limited schooling to international eminence is itself notable.
