John H. Hubbard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hamal Hubbard was born on October 6 or 7, 1945 (the actual date is unknown)[citation needed]. He is an American mathematician who is currently a professor at Cornell University and the Université de Provence. He is well known for the mathematical contributions he made with Adrien Douady in the field of complex dynamics, including a study of the Mandelbrot set. One of their most important results is that the Mandelbrot set is connected.
Hubbard graduated with a Doctorat d'Etat from Université de Paris-Sud in 1973; his thesis was entitled Sur Les Sections Analytiques de La Courbe Universelle de Teichmüller and was published by the American Mathematical Society. Hubbard has a variety of mathematical interests ranging from complex analysis to differential geometry. He has written many influential papers on complex dynamics,[1][2][3] and he has written several books. He has just completed another: the first volume of a series devoted to Teichmüller theory and applications to four revolutionary theorems of William Thurston.
