Salomon Bochner was a pure mathematician who was born in what is now Poland and moved to America to escape the Nazis. He worked on integral transforms and distribution theory. He was born in Podgórze near Kraków on 20 August 1899 and died in Houston, Texas on 2 May 1982. His name is connected with Bochner's theorem on positive definite functions and with the Bochner integral, two cornerstones of harmonic analysis and probability.
