Jean Estelle Hirsh Rubin (October 29, 1926 – October 25, 2002) was an American mathematician known for her research on the
axiom of choice. She worked for many years as a professor of mathematics at
Purdue University. Rubin wrote five books: three on the axiom of choice, and two more on more general topics in
set theory and
mathematical logic.[1][2]
Rubin was married to statistician
Herman Rubin, with whom she wrote two of her books. Their son is mathematician and aerospace engineer
Arthur Rubin.[1]
