Salomon Bochner is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Harmonic analysis; Bochner's theorem on positive-definite functions
Bochner came from an Orthodox Jewish family and, foreseeing the danger of Nazism, left Germany for the United States, where he taught at Princeton and Rice. He made deep contributions to analysis, including Bochner's theorem characterizing positive-definite functions, the Bochner integral for vector-valued functions, and results in several complex variables and probability. His ideas became standard tools across mathematics and physics.
