Louis W. Shapiro is an American mathematician working in the fields of combinatorics and finite group theory. He is an emeritus professor at Howard University.[1]
Shapiro attended Harvard University for his undergraduate studies and then the University of Maryland, College Park for graduate school.[2] Shapiro is most known for creating the Riordan array, named after mathematician John Riordan,[3] and developing the theory around it. He has been an organizer of and speaker at the yearly International Conference on Riordan Arrays and Related Topics,[4][5] which has been held annually beginning 2014.

- Comment by non-reviewer mathematician: presumably the claim to notability here rests on WP:NPROF#C1: the paper mentioned in the body of the article has at least 260 citations, and at least 5 other papers have more than 50 citations. (This uses numbers from AMS's MathSciNet, which is very conservative; for comparison Google Scholar says The Riordan Group has 472 citations.) --JBL (talk) 14:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
