Morris Hirsch

William Morris Hirsch ( born June 28, 1933, Chicago) is an American mathematician.

Hirsch in 1958 at the University of Chicago with Edwin Spaniards and Stephen Smale doctorate ( immersion of manifolds ). Since the 1960s, he was a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is now professor emeritus. There he worked with Smale on Topology and Dynamical Systems.

His doctoral include William Thurston and William Goldman

In 1964 he was Sloan Fellow and 1972 Miller Fellow. In 1966 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Moscow ( smoothing of piecewise linear manifolds ). He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
