Exponential horns, which emerged in the 1920's, are based on the conception that an even sound wave is emitted at the beginning of the horn.

 Alfred Horn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Among the highlights of his research is a 1962 paper on linear algebra titled "Eigenvalues of sums of Hermitian matrices," in which he makes a conjecture, the last step of which he lived to see proved by another UCLA mathematician in 1998.
His papers leap from one area of mathematics to another, so it is difficult to judge his contribution by the simple number of papers he published.
In addition to his research, Professor Horn is remembered by generations of his students and colleagues as an effective, kind and modest teacher who gave brilliant lectures and mentored many graduate students who went on to have successful careers of their own.
