Lefschetz, Solomon (1884–1972) mathematician; born in Moscow, Russia. He emigrated to America to work as an engineer (1905). Obtaining a Ph.D. (1911), he taught longest at Princeton (1924–53) and chaired its mathematics department (1945–53). Best known for linking topology to algebraic geometers, he also contributed to fixed-point theory and differential equations. Editor of Annals of Mathematics (1928–58), editor/founder of the Journal of Differential Equations, he was an author of math texts and founded a math center (1957) that was later moved to Brown University and named the Lefschetz Center for Dynamical Systems.
