Joanne Elliott (December 5, 1925 – March 5, 2023) was an American mathematician who specialized in potential theory,[1] who was described as a "disciple" of her co-author, probability theorist William Feller.
[1] Elliott was born on December 5, 1925, in Providence, Rhode Island,[3] and graduated from Brown University in 1947.
[4] Her dissertation, On Some Singular Integral Equations of the Cauchy Type, was supervised by Harry Pollard.
[7] In 1961, as an associate professor at Barnard, she was funded by the National Science Foundation to visit the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey for postdoctoral research.
[9] Among her graduate students at Rutgers was Edward R. Dougherty, later a distinguished professor of electrical engineering at Texas A&M University.
