Victor Hugo Moll (born 1956) is a Chilean American mathematician specializing in calculus.
Moll studied at the Universidad Santa Maria and at the New York University with a master's degree in 1982 and a doctorate in 1984 with Henry P. McKean (Stability in the Large for Solitary Wave Solutions to McKean's Nerve Conduction Caricature).
He deals with classical analysis, symbolic arithmetic and experimental mathematics, special functions and number theory.
Inspired by a 1988 paper in which Ilan Vardi [de] proved several integrals in Table of Integrals, Series, and Products,[2] a well-known comprehensive table of integrals originally compiled by the Russian mathematicians Iosif Moiseevich Ryzhik (Russian: Иосиф Моисеевич Рыжик) and Izrail Solomonovich Gradshteyn (Израиль Соломонович Градштейн) in 1943 and subsequently expanded and translated into several languages, Victor Moll and George Boros started a project to prove all integrals listed in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik and add additional commentary and references.
[3] In the foreword of the book Irresistible Integrals (2004), they wrote:[4] It took a short time to realize that this task was monumental.Nevertheless, the efforts have resulted in about 900 entries from Gradshteyn and Ryzhik discussed in a series of more than 30 articles of which papers 1 to 28 have been published in issues 14 to 26 of Scientia, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María (UTFSM), between 2007 and 2015[5] and compiled into a two-volume book series Special Integrals of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik: the Proofs (2014–2015).
