Jeffrey B. Remmel
Jeffrey Brian Remmel (October 12, 1948 – September 29, 2017) was an American mathematician employed by the University of California, San Diego.[1] At the time of his death he held a distinguished professorship—his title was Distinguished Professor of Mathematics;[2] he also held a position as a professor of computer science.[3] Personal lifeRemmel was born on October 12, 1948, in Clintonville, Wisconsin.[4] He died aged 68 at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California on September 29, 2017,[1] with a reported cause of death being a heart attack.[5] EducationRemmel received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Swarthmore College in 1970. Later, he received two degrees from Cornell University—a Master of Science in mathematics and a Doctor of Philosophy, also in math (1972 and 1974, respectively).[3] At Cornell, he was advised by Anil Nerode, and his dissertation was entitled Co-recursively Enumerable Structures.[6] CareerAfter obtaining his Ph.D.,[a] though before he had published a single paper,[4] Remmel joined the faculty of the University of California, San Diego as an assistant professor, where he worked for his entire career.[2] Remmel was noted for his successful publication record in two separate fields—logic, in which he published in mathematical logic; and combinatorics, where he published papers on algebraic combinatorics.[6] He published over 20 papers in logic with Victor W. Marek,[7] and Remmel's more prominent career in combinatorics included over 20 co-authored papers with Sergey Kitaev.[4] A double issue of the Journal of Combinatorics[b] was published in his memory.[8] Remmel's work is highly cited in the fields of vector spaces, including computably enumerable sets and vector spaces.[c] References
