Mark A. Pinsky (15 July 1940 – 8 December 2016)[1] was Professor of Mathematics at Northwestern University. His research areas included probability theory, mathematical analysis, Fourier Analysis and wavelets. Pinsky earned his Ph.D at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[2]
His published works include 125 research papers and ten books,[3] including several conference proceedings and textbooks. His 2002 book, Introduction to Fourier Analysis and Wavelets, has been translated into Spanish.[citation needed]
Biography
Pinsky was at Northwestern since 1968,[4] following a two-year postdoctoral position at Stanford.[1] He completed the Ph.D. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1966,Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Mathematical works
His early work was directed toward generalizations of the central limit theorem, known as random evolution, on which he wrote a monograph in 1991.[citation needed] At the same time he became interested in differential equations with noise, computing the Lyapunov exponents of various stochastic differential equations. His many interests include classical harmonic analysis and stochastic Riemannian geometry.[citation needed] The Pinsky phenomenon, a term coined by J.P. Kahane,[citation needed] has become a popular topic for research in harmonic analysis.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
In 2008, the Department of Mathematics at Northwestern University received a generous gift from Mark and Joanna Pinsky to endow an annual lecture series.[5]
