Hendrik Douwe Kloosterman, who lived from 9 April 1900 to 6 May 1968, was a Dutch mathematician known for his work in number theory, where he introduced the sums now named for him, and in representation theory. He studied at Leiden University, finishing his master's degree in 1922, then worked with Harald Bohr at Copenhagen and with G. H. Hardy at Oxford. In 1924 he received his doctorate at Leiden under the supervision of J. C. Kluyver. After study at Gottingen and Hamburg and an assistantship at Munster from 1928 to 1930, he became associate professor at Leiden in 1930 and full professor in 1947. He was elected to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1950. Jaap Murre obtained his doctorate under him in 1957.
