Marcel Riesz was a Hungarian-born mathematician who worked on summation methods, potential theory and other parts of analysis, as well as number theory and partial differential equations. He was born in Győr, Hungary on 16 November 1886 and died in Lund, Sweden on 4 September 1969. He was the younger brother of Frigyes Riesz, and the two brothers together shaped modern functional analysis. His name is found in the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem and the Riesz potentials.
