Morton Brown is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Topology; the generalized Schoenflies theorem
Brown was an American mathematician specializing in geometric topology who, with Barry Mazur, proved the generalized Schoenflies theorem; his elementary and fully general proof earned a share of the 1966 Oswald Veblen Prize. Born in the Bronx to Jewish immigrant parents—a Romanian father and a Polish-Russian mother—he taught for decades at the University of Michigan.
