Sci.'' 30 (1957), 399-409.〕 was an American mathematician. The son of astronomer John Monroe Van Vleck, he graduated from Wesleyan University in 1884, attended Johns Hopkins in 1885-87, and studied at Göttingen (Ph.D., 1893). He also received 1 July 1914 an honorary doctorate of the University of Groningen (The Netherlands).〔Album Studiosorum Academiae Groninganae, Promotiën, p. 620.〕 He was assistant professor and professor at Wesleyan (1895-1906), and after 1906 a professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where the mathematics building is named after him.〔(Sterling Hall map ); Van Vleck Hall is adjacent to Sterling Hall, where the Sterling Hall bombing occurred in August 1970, but Van Vleck Hall suffered merely broken windows.〕 His doctoral students include H. S. Wall. In 1913 he became president of the American Mathematical Society, of whose ''Transactions'' he had been first associate editor (1902–05) and then editor (1905–10). He was the author of ''Theory of Divergent Series and Algebraic Continued Fractions'' (1903), and of several monographs in mathematical journals. His son, John Hasbrouck van Vleck, was a notable physicist who received the Nobel Prize in 1977. == Writings == * * * * * (Selected topics in the theory of divergent series and of continued fractions ) (New York; MacMillan, 1905). 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「Edward Burr Van Vleck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
