Frigyes Riesz

Modern

Frigyes Riesz was a Hungarian mathematician, born on 22 January 1880 and died on 28 February 1956, sometimes known in English and French as Frederic Riesz. He made fundamental contributions to functional analysis, the study of spaces of functions and the operators acting on them, as did his younger brother Marcel Riesz. Functional analysis treats functions as points of an infinite dimensional space, and Riesz was one of the mathematicians who gave that viewpoint its foundations in the early twentieth century.
