Frank Grosshans

Frank D. Grosshans (born 1942) ^[1] is an American mathematician who works in invariant theory, where he is known for the discovery of Grosshans subgroups and Grosshans graded coefficients. ^[2] He is a professor of mathematics at West Chester University, Pennsylvania. ^[3] Grosshans has been an invited speaker at meetings of the Mathematical Association of America. ^[4]

He received his B.S. from the University of Illinois and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Chicago. ^[3] He taught at University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University before joining the West Chester University.
