Her husband was British mathematician Arthur Harold Stone. She earned her B.S. degree at Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1937 and her Ph.D. in 1940 under Anna Johnson Pell Wheeler from Bryn Mawr College with a dissertation entitled ''On measure in abstract sets''. Part of her thesis was published in the Transactions of the AMS. Then she went on to a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where she first met Arthur Harold Stone. They married in April 1942. She pioneered the research of finitely additive measures on integers. They both lectured at various universities in the USA and Great Britain and were faculty at the University of Rochester for many years. Their two children, David and Ellen, both became mathematicians as well. She retired in 2001. Her husband, Arthur Stone, died August 6, 2000, and her son, David Stone, died August 27, 2014. ==See also== * Maharam's theorem is a statement about the decomposability of complete measure spaces. * Maharam algebra 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorothy Maharam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
