Stefan Bergman (5 May 1895 – 6 June 1977) was a Poland-born American mathematician whose primary work was in complex analysis.

[1] Born in Częstochowa, Congress Poland, Russian Empire, to a German Jewish family,[2] Bergman received his Ph.D. at University of Berlin in 1921 for a dissertation on Fourier analysis.

His advisor, Richard von Mises, had a strong influence on him, lasting for the rest of his career.

[5] He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1950 in Cambridge, Massachusetts[6] and in 1962 in Stockholm (On meromorphic functions of several complex variables).

The American Mathematical Society supports the prize and selects the committee of judges.
