Hans Rademacher was a German-born mathematician who worked in analytic number theory, mathematical genetics, the theory of functions of a real variable and quantum theory. He was born in Wandsbeck, now part of Hamburg, on 3 April 1892 and died in Haverford, Pennsylvania on 7 February 1969. His exact convergent series for the partition function improved the earlier asymptotic formula of Hardy and Ramanujan, and his name is also attached to the Rademacher functions.

In mathematical analysis, Rademacher's theorem, named after Hans Rademacher, states the following: If U is an open subset of Rn and f: U → Rm is Lipschitz continuous, then f is differentiable almost everywhere in U; that is, the points in U at which f is not differentiable form a set of Lebesgue measure zero
