Andrew Ogg
Andrew Pollard Ogg (born April 9, 1934, Bowling Green, Ohio) is an American mathematician, a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.[1]
Ogg worked in algebra and number theory. His accomplishments include the 1975 characterization of supersingular primes, the starting point for the theory of monstrous moonshine.[2] He is also the author of the book Modular forms and Dirichlet series (W. A. Benjamin, 1969).
Ogg received his Ph.D. in 1961 from Harvard University under the supervision of John Tate.[3]
