Hans Adolph Rademacher (German: [ˈʁaːdəmaxɐ]; 3 April 1892 – 7 February 1969) was a German-born American mathematician, known for work in mathematical analysis and number theory.
In 1922, he became an assistant professor at the University of Hamburg, where he supervised budding mathematicians like Theodor Estermann.
[2] He was dismissed from his position at the University of Breslau by the Nazis in 1933 due to his public support of the Weimar Republic,[3] and emigrated from Europe in 1934.
Rademacher had a number of well-known students, including George Andrews, Paul T. Bateman, Theodor Estermann and Emil Grosswald.
With his retirement from the University of Pennsylvania, a group of mathematicians provided the seed funding for The Hans A. Rademacher Instructorships, and honored him with an honorary degree as Doctor of Science.
