Biographical sketch
Freiman was born in Kazan in 1926. He graduated from Moscow University in 1949, and obtained his Candidate of Sciences in Kazan University in 1956. From 1956 he worked in Elabuga, and in 1965 he defended his Doctor of Sciences degree under the joint supervision of Alexander Gelfond, Alexey G. Postnikov, and Alexander Buchstab. [4] From 1967 he worked in Vladimir, [5] and later in Kalinin (now Tver).
In the 1970s and early 1980s Freiman participated in the refusenik movement. His samizdat essay It seems I am a Jew, described the discrimination against Jewish mathematicians in the Soviet Union. [6] It was published in the US in 1980. [7]
Later, Freiman was driven out of Russia for his different views. He chose Israel as his new home country, leaving his son, daughter, and wife. In Israel he became professor in Tel Aviv University, and met a woman who he then married. They are still together to this day.
Gábor Szegő was a Hungarian-American mathematician. He was one of the foremost mathematical analysts of his generation and made fundamental contributions to the theory of orthogonal polynomials and Toeplitz matrices building on the work of his contemporary Otto Toeplitz.
Ralph Jasper Faudree was a mathematician, a professor of mathematics and the former provost of the University of Memphis.
Nathan Jacobson was an American mathematician.
Irving Kaplansky was a mathematician, college professor, author, and amateur musician.
Daniel J. Kleitman is an American mathematician and professor of applied mathematics at MIT. His research interests include combinatorics, graph theory, genomics, and operations research.
Joseph Leonard Walsh was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the field of analysis. The Walsh function and the Walsh–Hadamard code are named after him. The Grace–Walsh–Szegő coincidence theorem is important in the study of the location of the zeros of multivariate polynomials.
Tadashi Nakayama or Tadasi Nakayama was a mathematician who made important contributions to representation theory.
In mathematics, arithmetic combinatorics is a field in the intersection of number theory, combinatorics, ergodic theory and harmonic analysis.

Irwin Kra is an American mathematician, who works on the function theory in complex analysis.
Carl Samuel Herz was an American-Canadian mathematician, specializing in harmonic analysis. His name is attached to the Herz–Schur multiplier. He held professorships at Cornell University and McGill University, where he was Peter Redpath Professor of Mathematics at the time of his death.
Moss Eisenberg Sweedler is an American mathematician, known for Sweedler's Hopf algebra, Sweedler's notation, measuring coalgebras, and his proof, with Harry Prince Allen, of a conjecture of Nathan Jacobson.
Melvyn Bernard Nathanson is an American mathematician, specializing in number theory, and a Professor of Mathematics at Lehman College and The Graduate Center.
