Timeline

1918

Abraham Robinson (born Robinsohn; October 6, 1918 – April 11, 1974) was a mathematician who is most widely known for development of nonstandard analysis, a mathematically rigorous system whereby infinitesimal and infinite numbers were reincorporated into modern mathematics.

Nearly half of Robinson's papers were in applied mathematics rather than in pure mathematics.

He was born to a Jewish family with strong Zionist beliefs, in Waldenburg, Germany, which is now Wałbrzych, in Poland.

1933

In 1933, he emigrated to British Mandate of Palestine, where he earned a first degree from the Hebrew University.

Robinson was in France when the Nazis invaded during World War II, and escaped by train and on foot, being alternately questioned by French soldiers suspicious of his German passport and asked by them to share his map, which was more detailed than theirs.

While in London, he joined the Free French Air Force and contributed to the war effort by teaching himself aerodynamics and becoming an expert on the airfoils used in the wings of fighter planes.

1962

After the war, Robinson worked in London, Toronto, and Jerusalem, but ended up at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1962.

He became known for his approach of using the methods of mathematical logic to attack problems in analysis and abstract algebra.

He "introduced many of the fundamental notions of model theory".

Using these methods, he found a way of using formal logic to show that there are self-consistent nonstandard models of the real number system that include infinite and infinitesimal numbers.

Others, such as Wilhelmus Luxemburg, showed that the same results could be achieved using ultrafilters, which made Robinson's work more accessible to mathematicians who lacked training in formal logic.

1966

Robinson's book Non-standard Analysis was published in 1966.

Robinson was strongly interested in the history and philosophy of mathematics, and often remarked that he wanted to get inside the head of Leibniz, the first mathematician to attempt to articulate clearly the concept of infinitesimal numbers.

While at UCLA his colleagues remember him as working hard to accommodate PhD students of all levels of ability by finding them projects of the appropriate difficulty.

1967

He was courted by Yale, and after some initial reluctance, he moved there in 1967.

1973

In the Spring of 1973 he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study.

1974

He died of pancreatic cancer in 1974.
