Glen Eugene Bredon (born August 24, 1932 in Fresno, California – May 8, 2000)〔Date of birth according to ''American Men and Women of Science'', Thomson Gale〕 was an US-American mathematician, who worked in the area of topology. Bredon studied at Stanford University, got a bachelor's degree in 1954 and a master's degree from Harvard University in 1955. In 1958 he wrote his PhD thesis at Harvard (''Some theorems on transformation groups'') under the supervision of Andrew M. Gleason.〔http://www.ams.org/notices/200910/rtx091001236p.pdf〕 Since 1960 he was assistant professor and later professor at the University of California, Berkeley and since 1969 at Rutgers University, where he retired in 1993. From 1958 to 1960 and 1966/67 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study. The Bredon cohomology of topological spaces under action of a topological group is named after him.〔(Bredon cohomology, ncatlab )〕 In the late 1980s, he wrote the program DOS.MASTER for Apple II computers. He is the author of the programs Merlin (a macro assembler) and ProSel for Apple machines. Since 1963 he was married to folk singer and mathematician Anne Bredon and had two children with her. == Works == *''Topology and Geometry, Graduate Texts in Mathematics'', Springer Verlag 1993, 1996 *''Sheaf Theory'', McGraw Hill 1967, 2nd printing, Graduate Texts in Mathematics, Springer Verlag 1997 *''Introduction to Compact Transformation Groups'', Academic Press 1972 *''Equivariant Cohomology Theories'', Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Springer Verlag 1967 *with John W.
