	Norman Steenrod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norman Earl Steenrod (April 22, 1910–October 14, 1971) was a leading mathematician, working in the field of topology.
		He held positions at the University of Chicago from 1939 to 1942, the University of Michigan from 1942 to 1947, and then at Princeton University.

	NORMAN STEENROD
		Norman Steenrod (1910-1971) was one of the leading topologists of the twentieth century.
		Steenrod was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio.
		Steenrod was able to define operations from one cohomology group to another that generalized the cup-square.

	Steenrod (print-only)
		Norman attended school in Dayton and he was such an outstanding pupil that he was able to complete the twelve school years in only nine.
		In 1927 Steenrod enrolled at the University of Miami at Oxford, Ohio.
		Steenrod received many honours for his major contribution to topology, the most important of which was his election to the National Academy of Sciences.

	A Guide to the Norman Earl Steenrod Papers, 1911, 1948-1970
		Steenrod's research interests are represented by a manuscript of Foundations of Algebraic Topology (1952), written with Samuel Eisenberg, by notes for several lectures, and by material relating to research grants (1963-1970).
		Steenrod's work for the American Mathematical Society is represented by records (6 in.) of the Colloquium Committee (1962-1970) and the committees on Mathematical Reviews (1964-1966), the manual for authors (1959-1966), and the organization of the 1963 Summer Institute.
		Steenrod's interest in education is reflected in records of his work with the Mathematical Association of America's Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (1966-1969) and the preparation of his First Concepts of Topology, written with W. Chinn (1966) for the School Mathematics Study Group Monograph Panel.

		Norman Earl Steenrod (1910-1971) was a central figure in the post World War II development of algebraic topology.
		Steenrod returned to Princeton permanently after short periods on the faculties of the University of Chicago (1939-1942) and the University of Michigan (1942-1947).
		Steenrod's study of homology classification led to his work on cohomology operations, in particular to the Steenrod algebra.

		He took just one mathematics course but it was an important one for the future direction of his research, for he took a topology course given by Raymond Wilder who had been a student of Robert Moore.
		Wilder and Lefschetz put a strong case to Princeton for them to offer Steenrod a fellowship but even after achieving this it still took all their powers of persuasion to convince Steenrod to take up the Princeton offer.
		Finally we mention the important work which Steenrod did on homology theories which appeared in the famous book Foundations of algebraic topology which he wrote with Samuel Eilenberg and was published in 1952.

	The Topology of Fibre Bundles. (PMS-14) Norman Steenrod Princeton University Press Paperback
		True, more slick machinery has been developed since Steenrod's time, but those big machines are hardly transparent.
		Steenrod assumes very little of the reader; he even has a quick course in homotopy groups, although he assumes the reader knows the basics of homology/cohomology.
		Perhaps most importantly, since many of the ideas in the book were new at the time, he doesn't assume that the reader is already comfortable with those ideas.

	Convenient topology by Som Naimpally
		However, in the literature it is often attributed to Norman Steenrod's 1967 paper [8].
		It was well-known at the time of Steenrod's paper how to do the non-Hausdorff case (take final topologies).
		There is another mathematical point that is worth making, namely that in Brown's paper, using k-continuous functions, he gets a homeomorphism for the exponential law, whereas Steenrod gets only a homeomorphism on the k-ifications.

		STEENROD ALGEBRA: Much of our work is collaborative, and centres around the Steenrod Algebra of stable operations in mod 2 cohomology and its action on rings of polynomials.
		This algebra was discovered by the topologist Norman Steenrod in 1947, but we are now developing applications in areas which are purely algebraic, and even in iteration theory and computation.
		REPRESENTATIONS: The action of the Steenrod Algebra commutes with that of matrices on polynomials by linear substitution, bringing the representation theory of the general linear groups over a finite field into play.

	David Epstein 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		David Epstein's publications span an exceptionally wide range of mathematics, covering the entire spectrum of topology and related areas from pure group theory to abstract homotopy theory.
		Among his early publications are the standard reference for Steenrod operations (with Norman Steenrod), papers on 3-dimensional manifolds (notably, the projective plane theorem), on ends (of spaces and groups), on curves on surfaces and on the Eilenberg-Zilber Theorem.
		In 1970 he solved a long-standing problem on 1-dimensional foliations, proving that every 1-dimensional foliation of a closed 3-manifold, with all leaves compact, is given by a periodic flow, and this led to a series of papers on foliations.

	Mathematical Career
		At the time Norman Steenrod was writing his classic book on the topology of fiber bundles and teaching a course based on it.
		Bott describes Steenrod with admiration as someone who treated high and low alike, with equal respect.
		This was quite often a boon to the others in the audience, too intimidated and too befuddled to ask the questions themselves.

	Faculty Remembered
		In 1966 Spanier published the first comprehensive textbook in algebraic topology: it is still in wide use as a text and standard reference.
		After gaining his doctorate at the University of Michigan in 1947, under the direction of Norman Steenrod, Spanier held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J. In 1948 he joined the faculty of mathematics at the University of Chicago.
		He left Chicago in 1959 to accept appointment as Professor of Mathematics in Berkeley where he taught and continued his research until his retirement in 1991.

	Mathematician Samuel Eilenberg, 84. Columbia University Record, February 20, 1998
		He is best known for his collaborations with other distinguished mathematicians.
		With Norman Steenrod in the 1940s, he made sense of a tangled branch of mathematics called homology theory, the study of objects that can be manipulated with algebra.
		The Eilenberg-Steenrod Axioms for Homology clarified the subject by setting forth four simple properties that could be used to discern when a possibly exotic homology theory was in fact the same as the usual one.

		As an undergraduate I moved too often to be strongly influenced by any one teacher.
		I do remember certain impressive individuals, including Richard McKeon at Chicago, who lectured on Aristotle, Norman Steenrod, who taught my first course in calculus, and Professor Tanner at the University of Tulsa, from whom I learned elementary Greek.
		I was influenced by Ernest Nagel more than by anyone else and I still relish the memory of the first lecture of his that I attended in 1947.

		For example, the singular cohomology rings can be further given the structure of an algebra over a key, and complicated, ring known as the Steenrod algebra.
		Homology groups are particularly well suited to computation via some inductive procedure: if a space is somehow pieced together from simpler spaces (as unions, say, or fibrations) then the homology theories of the large space reflect those of the smaller spaces, together with some algebraic information which indicates the nature of the piecing-together.
