Robert "Bob" Osserman (December 19, 1926 – November 30, 2011) was an American mathematician who worked in geometry. He is specially remembered for his work on the theory of minimal surfaces. Raised in Bronx, he went to Bronx High School of Science (diploma, 1942) and New York University. He earned a Ph.D. in 1955 from Harvard University with the thesis Contributions to the Problem of Type (on Riemann surfaces) supervised by Lars Ahlfors. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) of 1978 in Helsinki.

He joined the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in 1990.He worked on geometric function theory, differential geometry, the two integrated in a theory of minimal surfaces, isoperimetric inequality, and other issues in the areas of astronomy, geometry, cartography and complex function theory. Osserman was the head of mathematics at Office of Naval Research, a Fulbright Lecturer at the University of Paris and Guggenheim Fellow at the University of Warwick. He edited numerous books and promoted mathematics, such as in interviews with celebrities Steve Martin and Alan Alda. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) of 1978 in Helsinki. He received the Lester R. Ford Award (1980) of the Mathematical Association of America for his popular science writings. H. Blaine Lawson, David Allen Hoffman and Michael Gage were Ph.D. students of his. Robert Osserman died on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at his home. (en)
  • Robert Osserman (19 décembre 1926 à New York – 30 novembre 2011 à Berkeley) est un mathématicien américain. Élevé dans le Bronx, il étudie à la Bronx High School of Science dont il sort diplômé en 1942, puis à l'université de New York. Il soutient sa thèse de doctorat Contributions au problème du type (sur les surfaces de Riemann) en 1955 à l'université Harvard, sous la tutelle de Lars Ahlfors. Il rejoint en 1957 l'université Stanford, où il a été ensuite professeur émérite. Il y rejoint le Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) en 1990. Il a travaillé sur la (en), sur la géométrie différentielle, sur une théorie des surfaces minimales qui intègre ces deux approches, sur l'inégalité isopérimétrique et sur d'autres sujets touchant à l'astronomie, la géométrie, la cartographie et l'analyse complexe. Osserman a également dirigé le département des mathématiques à l'Office of Naval Research (bureau de la recherche navale), il a bénéficié d'une bourse Fulbright pour être maître de conférences à l'université de Paris, et il a reçu une bourse Guggenheim alors qu'il se trouvait à l'université de Warwick. Il a publié de nombreux livres et contribué à la promotion des mathématiques, notamment par des interviews avec des célébrités telles que Steve Martin et Alan Alda. (fr)
