Albert "Tommy" Wilansky (13 September 1921, St Johns, Newfoundland – 3 July 2017, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) was a Canadian-American mathematician, known for introducing Smith-Zahl .[1][2]

Biography

Wilansky was educated as an undergraduate at Dalhousie University, where he received an M.A. in mathematics in 1944. From 1944 to 1947 he was a graduate student at Brown University.[3] In 1947 he received his Ph.D. with advisor Clarence Raymond Adams and dissertation An application of Banach linear functionals to the theory of summability.[4]

From 1948 until his official retirement in 1992, Wilansky was a faculty member of the mathematics department of Lehigh University.[3]

Wilansky did research in analysis, specializing in summability theory, linear topological spaces, Banach algebras, and functional analysis.[3] He was the author of several books and the author or co-author of more than 80 articles. He lectured at over 50 different universities.[2] In 1969 he received the Mathematical Association of America's Lester R. Ford Award for his 1968 article Spectral Decomposition of Matrices for High School Students.[5] (The 1969 award was also given individually to 5 other mathematicians.)

Wilansky was married to his first wife from 1947 until her death in 1969. They had two daughters. He had three step-daughters from his second marriage.
