Thomas William Körner

Thomas William Körner ( born February 17, 1946) is a British mathematician who, specifically employs Fourier Analysis with Analysis.

He studied at Trinity Hall at Cambridge University, where he received his doctorate in 1971 in Nicholas Varopoulos ( Some Results on Kronecker, Dirichlet and Helson sets). Grains is a Fellow of Trinity Hall and Professor of Fourier Analysis in Cambridge. There he is Chairman of the Mathematics Department ( Chairman of the Faculty Board of Mathematics ) and junior Director of Mathematical Studies in Trinity Hall ( 2009). Grains wrote next to Analysis textbooks, among other things, a popular science math book ( " Mathematical Thinking " ), with examples from meteorology to the military.

In 1972 he received the Salem Prize.

He is the son of British philosopher Stephen grains and the British government official and Gesundheitsreformerin Edith grains (both in 1939, as Jews fled from Czechoslovakia to England). His sister Ann grains is a translator and biochemist.
