Nov. 10, 2015; first British winner of the Fields Medal, whose discoveries in number theory led to him being considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the second half of the 20th century; his best-known work was in the field of Diophantine approximation)
- Klaus Roth (Klaus Friedrich Roth FRS (29 October 1925 - 10 November 2015) was a German-born British mathematician who won the Fields Medal for proving Roth's theorem on the Diophantine approximation of algebraic numbers. He was also a winner of the De Morgan Medal and the Sylvester Medal, and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Roth was born to a Jewish family in Breslau, Prussia, on 29 October 1925. His parents settled with him in London to escape Nazi persecution in 1933, and he was raised and educated in the UK. Born: Klaus Friedrich Roth, 29 October 1925, Breslau, Province of Lower, Silesia, Weimar Germany. Died: 10 November 2015 (aged 90), Inverness, Scotland. Education: St Paul's School, London. Peterhouse, Cambridge. University College London. On the recommendation of Harold Davenport, he was accepted in 1946 to a master's program in mathematics at University College London, where he worked under the supervision of Theodor Estermann. He completed a master's degree there in 1948, and a doctorate in 1950. His dissertation was Proof that almost all Positive Integers are Sums of a Square, a Positive Cube and a Fourth Power. On receiving his master's degree in 1948, Roth became an assistant lecturer at University College London, and in 1950 he was promoted to lecturer.[5] His most significant contributions, on Diophantine approximation, progression-free sequences, and discrepancy, were all published in the mid-1950s, and by 1958 he was given the Fields Medal, mathematicians' highest honour. However, it was not until 1961 that he was promoted to full professor. During this period, he continued to work closely with Harold Davenport. He took sabbaticals at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the mid-1950s and mid-1960s, and seriously considered migrating to the United States. Walter Hayman and Patrick Linstead countered this possibility, which they saw as a threat to British mathematics, with an offer of a chair in pure mathematics at Imperial College London, and Roth accepted the chair in 1966. He retained this position until official retirement in 1988. He remained at Imperial College as Visiting Professor until 1996. ( (Wikipedia, viewed May 14, 2026:) )
