Paul Richard Halmos (1916-2006) is known
for his work in operator theory, ergodic theory, and functional analysis, as
well as his mathematical exposition and his teaching style. His major teaching
positions were at the University of Chicago (1946-1960), the University of
Michigan (1961-1967), Indiana University (1969-1985), and Santa Clara
University (1985-1996), where he was Professor Emeritus until his death in
2006.
Halmos was born March 3, 1916, in Budapest, Hungary. He came to the
United States in 1929 and attended high school in Chicago. In 1931, at the age
of 15, he entered the University of Illinois, intending to study chemical
engineering, and graduated three years later (1934) with a bachelor’s degree in
mathematics and philosophy. Halmos then entered graduate school at the
University of Illinois in order to pursue a Ph.D. in philosophy. After failing
the oral comprehensive exam for the master’s degree, he changed the focus of
his graduate studies and registered as a student in the department of
mathematics. Halmos earned his doctorate in mathematics under Joseph Doob in
1938.
Following the completion of his doctorate, Halmos served as John
von Neumann's assistant at the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) (1939-1942), a
post that led to the publication of his first book, Finite Dimensional Vector Spaces, in 1942. After working
at the IAS, Halmos taught soldiers in the Army's Specialized Training Program
at Syracuse University before moving to the University of Chicago, and the
University of Michigan. After one year as the mathematics department chair at
the University of Hawaii (1967-1968), he began a professorship at Indiana
University, where he would stay until 1985, with the exception of two years
spent at the University of California, Santa Barbara (1975-1977). In 1985, he
moved to Santa Clara University where he worked until his retirement in 1996.
In addition to these posts, Halmos held visiting appointments at the University
of Montevideo, Uruguay (1951-1952), the University of Miami (1965-1966), and
the University of Washington (1959), among others.
Halmos served as
editor of several publications, including the Mathematical Association of
America’s American Mathematical Monthly
(1982-1986) and Proceedings of the American Mathematical
Society (1958-1963). For the Van Nostrand publishing company he edited
the University Series in Undergraduate Mathematics. Halmos also served as
editor for the Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete series and
Graduate Texts in Mathematics series published by Springer-Verlag.
He
received the Steele Prize for exposition from the American Mathematical Society
in 1983 and the Distinguished Teacher Award from the Mathematical Association
of America in 1993. Halmos was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a
Guggenheim Fellow. In 2000, he was awarded the Yueh-Gin Gung and Dr. Charles Y.
Hu Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics by the Mathematical
Association of America, the organization’s most prestigious award for
service.
Return to the Table of Contents
Correspondence, notes, lectures,
publications, and teaching materials (1915-2006) document the mathematical
career of Paul R. Halmos as a teacher, editor of mathematical publications, and
as an author and lecturer. Arranged in nine series representing Halmos’s
teaching and professional activities, his work with mathematical organizations,
his research notes and travel diaries, and his work as author and lecturer. The
Teaching/Professional series consists of course notes used by Halmos for
teaching, correspondence concerning employment and relations with the
mathematics department of which he was part, awards, and student dissertations.
Halmos’s role as editor of the American Mathematical
Monthly is richly documented through correspondence and editors reports
arranged in the Organizations series. Also well represented in this series is
the renovation of the Mathematical Association of America Carriage House, to
which Halmos donated substantially. The Notes series includes Halmos’s
mathematical research, a substantial portion of which consists of problems
collected and created by Halmos, and often used in his publications. The
Conferences series contains correspondence and diaries documenting Halmos’s
travels abroad to attend conferences. In several instances, the lecture
associated with the conference can be found in the Lectures series. The bulk of
the Publications and Writings series consists of reprints by Halmos and others.
Halmos’s personal life is represented in the Correspondence and Personal
series. Much of the correspondence, arranged alphabetically, is both personal
and related to questions of mathematics.
