From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Burton Serrin (1 November 1926, Chicago, Illinois – 23 August 2012, Minneapolis, Minnesota) was an American mathematician, and a professor at University of Minnesota.[1] He is known for his contributions to continuum mechanics, nonlinear analysis,[2] and partial differential equations.[3][4][5]

He received his doctorate from Indiana University in 1951 under the supervision of David Gilbarg.[6] From 1954 till 1995 he was on the faculty of the University of Minnesota.[6][7][8]

He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1980.
