Harold S. Shapiro
 |
Harold Seymour Shapiro (born 1928 in Brooklyn, New York) is a professor emeritus of mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, best known for inventing the so-called Shapiro polynomials (also known as Golay–Shapiro polynomials or Rudin–Shapiro polynomials and for pioneering work on quadrature domains.[citation needed]
His main research areas have been approximation theory, complex analysis, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. He is also interested in the pedagogy of problem-solving.
Shapiro earned a B.Sc. from the City College of New York in 1949 and earned his M.S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1951. He received his Ph.D. in 1952 from MIT; his thesis was written under the supervision of Norman Levinson.[1] He is the father of cosmologist Max Tegmark, a graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology and now a professor at MIT.[citation needed]
