Gillis (3 August 1911 – 18 November 1993) was an Israeli mathematician and one of the founders of the Faculty of Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he served as a Professor of Applied Mathematics. He made notable contributions to fractal sets, fluid dynamics, random walks, and pioneered the combinatorial theory of special functions of mathematical physics.{{cn|date=September 2018}} CareerGillis was born on 3 August 1911 in Great Britain.{{cn|date=September 2018}} He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, completing his doctoral thesis under A.S. Besicovitch in 1935.[1][2] During World War II he worked in Bletchley Park as a cryptographer. He was a lecturer at the Maths faculty of Queen's University Belfast[3] between 1937 and 1947{{cn|date=September 2018}}. In 1948 he immigrated to Israel and joined the Weizmann Institute of Science (then the Ziv Institute), where he, along with others{{who|date=September 2018}}, founded the Department of Applied Mathematics. He also served as the Academic Secretary{{when|date=September 2018}}. During the Academic Year 1954-1955 he visited the Institute for Advanced Study as part of the Electronic Computer Project headed by John von Neumann. He was very active in advancing mathematics education, and chaired the department of Science Teaching at the Weizmann Institute. He also started the Israel Mathematics Olympiad and coached the Israeli team for many years, as well as edited mathematics periodicals for high school students and amateurs.{{cn|date=September 2018}} Personal lifeHe was married to Olga Kirsch and had two daughters.
