Paul C. Rosenbloom

Paul Charles Rosenbloom ( * 1920 in Portsmouth, Virginia; † April 2005) was an American mathematician.

Rosenbloom graduated from the University of Pennsylvania (during which time he was Putnam Fellow in 1941 after participating in the same competition) and in 1944 he was a PhD from Stanford University in Gabor Szego (On sequences of polynomials, Especially sections of power series). He was professor of mathematics at Brown University, Syracuse University ( in 1951 ), the University of Minnesota ( mid 1950s to the end of year, where he was 1959/60 Director of the Minnesota School Mathematics Center ) and at the Teacher's College, Columbia University ( from the 1960s until his retirement ).

He dealt with Analysis (eg rediscovery of the fixed point theorem for the iteration of entire functions of Pierre Fatou 1948), specifically function theory and differential equations, logic, and mathematics education.

In 1946 he was Guggenheim Fellow.
