Шаблон:Short description Agnes P. Berger (1916-2002) was a Hungarian-American mathematician who served as an associate professor of biostatistics at Columbia University's School of Public Health, as well as a statistical consultant at Mount Sinai. [1]

Early years

Her first experiences with mathematics were thanks to the Hungarian publication Kömal (Kozepiskolai Matematikai Lapok), a monthly magazine for high school students that included math problems. [2]

During her studies at the University of Budapest, she was a student of the prominent Hungarian mathematician Lipót Fejér, whom she would remember years later for his short, detailed classes and dramatic endings. [3] Her parents were friends with the parents of contemporary mathematician Peter Lax.[4]

She earned her doctorate.[5]

Career

Berger collaborated with other statisticians such at Jerzy Neyman.[6] She reviewed work of Joseph L. Fleiss, another statistical mathematician.[7]

Family life and last years of life

Agnes Berger married Laszlo Berger, with whom she had a son, John Joseph Berger. She died at age 85 at Lenox Hill Hospital on March 27, 2002. [1]
