William Ted Martin (June 4, 1911 – May 30, 2004) was an American mathematician, who worked on mathematical analysis, several complex variables, and probability theory.
He collaborated with several fellow MIT faculty members, notably Norbert Wiener, R. H. Cameron, Stefan Bergman, and Salomon Bochner.
During the 1940s Martin and R. H. Cameron wrote a series of papers extending Norbert Wiener's early work on mathematical models of Brownian motion.
[3] During the 1950s W. T. Martin wrote with Salomon Bochner a series of papers that proved basic results in the theory of several complex variables.
[5] Beginning in 1961, Martin involved himself in developing math curricula for English-speaking African nations, serving as chair of the Steering Committee of the Education Development Center's African Mathematics Program and visited Africa regularly from 1961 to 1975.
