Theory & Foundations. Affiliations. Institute for Advanced Study. Hassler Whitney was awarded the National Medal of Science for founding, and bringing to maturity, the discipline of differential topology.
Hassler Whitney was a giant of twentieth-century mathematics. This biography paints a picture of him and includes dozens of revealing anecdotes. Mathematically, he had a rare detector that went off whenever he spotted a piece of mathematical gold, and he would then draw countless pictures, gradually forging a path from hunch to proof.
Hassler Whitney was a mathematician who made important contributions in geometry and topology. He taught at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1952 to 1989 and received the National Medal of Science in 1977.
