}}Mark A. Pinsky (15 July 1940 – 8 December 2016)[1] was Professor of Mathematics at Northwestern University. His research areas included probability theory, mathematical analysis, Fourier Analysis and wavelets. Pinsky earned his Ph.D at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[2]

His published works include 125 research papers and ten books,[3] including several conference proceedings and textbooks. His 2002 book, Introduction to Fourier Analysis and Wavelets, has been translated into Spanish.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}}

Biography

Pinsky was at Northwestern since 1968,[4] following a two-year postdoctoral position at Stanford.[1] He completed the Ph.D. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1966,[1] under the direction of Henry McKean and became Full Professor in 1976.{{Chronology citation needed|date=August 2008}} He was married to the artist Joanna Pinsky since 1963; they have three children, Seth, Jonathan and Lea, and four grandchildren, Nathan, Jason, Justin and Jasper.[5]

Academic memberships and services

Pinsky was a member of the American Mathematical Society (AMS){{Citation needed|date=August 2008}}, a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,[1][6] Mathematical Association of America,{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} and has provided services for Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), most recently as Consulting Editor for the AMS.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} He served on the Executive Committee of MSRI for the period 1996–2000.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}}

Pinsky was an invited speaker at the meeting to honor Stanley Zietz in Philadelphia at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, on 20 March 2008.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}}

Pinsky was a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics[1][6] and member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Theoretical Probability.[7]

Mathematical works

His early work was directed toward generalizations of the central limit theorem, known as random evolution, on which he wrote a monograph in 1991.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} At the same time he became interested in differential equations with noise, computing the Lyapunov exponents of various stochastic differential equations. His many interests include classical harmonic analysis and stochastic Riemannian geometry.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} The Pinsky phenomenon, a term coined by J.P. Kahane,{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} has become a popular topic for research in harmonic analysis.[1]

Pinsky was coordinator of the twenty-ninth Midwest Probability Colloquium, held at Northwestern University in October 2007.[8]

In 2008, the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University received a generous gift from Mark and Joanna Pinsky to endow an annual lecture series.[9]
