American mathematician
Francis Joseph Murray (February 3, 1911 – March 15, 1996) was a
mathematician , known for his foundational work (with
John von Neumann ) on
functional analysis , and what subsequently became known as
von Neumann algebras . He received his BA from
Columbia College in 1932 and
PhD from
Columbia University in 1936.
[1]
[2] He taught at
Duke University .
In 1967 he was awarded the
Outstanding Civilian Service Medal by the U. S. Army.
