John Coleman Moore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Coleman Moore is an American mathematician. He received his Ph.D. in 1952 from Brown University under the supervision of George W. Whitehead. His most heavily cited paper is on Hopf algebras, co-authored with John Milnor.[1] As a faculty member at Princeton University, he advised 23 students and is the academic ancestor of 582 mathematicians.[2] In 1983, a conference on K-theory was held at Princeton in honor of his 60th birthday.[3] The Borel-Moore homology and Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence are named after him.[4]
