Theory of Computation

Robert Henry Risch, born in 1939, is an American mathematician who worked on computer algebra and is known for his work on symbolic integration, specifically the Risch algorithm, which he developed in 1968. He is also known for results on algebraic properties of elementary functions. He received his doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley in 1968 under the supervision of Maxwell A. Rosenlicht, then worked at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center in the Mathematics of AI group and, between 1970 and 1972, at the Institute for Advanced Study.
