Alfred Tauber (November 5, 1866 – July 26, 1942) was a mathematician who was born in Bratislava, and died in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. In 1897 he proved a corrected converse of Abel's theorem. G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood coined the term Tauberian to describe converse theorems like that proved by Tauber.
