John Coleman Moore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Coleman Moore (born in Staten Island (NY), May 27, 1927[1]) 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.[2] As a faculty member at Princeton University, he advised 23 students and is the academic ancestor of 582 mathematicians.[3] In 1983, a conference on K-theory was held at Princeton in honor of his 60th birthday.[4] The Borel−Moore homology and Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence are named after him.[5]
