From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Francis Donoghue Jr. (7 September 1921 – 4 April 2002, Irvine, California) was an American mathematician, specializing in analysis.

Biography[edit]

Donoghue received in 1951 his PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His dissertation The Bounded Closure of Locally Convex Spaces was written under the supervision of William Frederick Eberlein.[1] Donoghue taught and did research at the University of Kansas, New York University, and Michigan State University, before he became in 1965 a professor at the University of California, Irvine.[2]

For the academic year 1958/59[3] he was a Guggenheim Fellow in Sweden. For four months in 1962 he was a visiting professor at the University of Paris. He spent the academic year 1972/73 on sabbatical at the University of Lund.[2]

On January 26, 1974, he married Grace Koo in Orange County, California.
