Bruce C. Berndt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bruce Carl Berndt (born March 13, 1939, in St. Joseph, Michigan) is an American mathematician. He attended college at Albion College, graduating in 1961, and received his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He lectured for a year at the University of Glasgow and then, in 1967, was appointed an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he has remained since. He is currently (as of 2006) Michio Suzuki Distinguished Research Professor of Mathematics at the University of Illinois.

Berndt is an analytic number theorist who is probably best-known for his work explicating the discoveries of Srinivasa Ramanujan. He is a coordinating editor of The Ramanujan Journal and, in 1996, received an expository Steele Prize from the American Mathematical Society for his work editing Ramanujan's Notebooks.
