Daniel Wyler Stroock (March 20, 1940 – March 13, 2025[1]) was an American mathematician, a probabilist. He is regarded and revered as one of the fundamental contributors to Malliavin calculus with Shigeo Kusuoka and the theory of diffusion processes with S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan with an orientation towards the refinement and further development of Itô’s stochastic calculus.

Biography

Stroock received his undergraduate degree from Harvard University in 1962 and his doctorate from Rockefeller University in 1966. He taught at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the University of Colorado, Boulder, before joining the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mathematics faculty in 1984.[2] He is known for his work with S. R. S. Varadhan on diffusion processes, for which he received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research in 1996.[3]

Stroock was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.[4],[5] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]

Quotes

Mathematics is one, and possibly the only, human endeavor for which there is a widely, if not universally, recognized criterion with which to determine truth. For this reason, mathematicians can avoid some of the interminable disputes which plague other fields. On the other hand, I sometimes wonder whether the most interesting questions are not those for which such disputes are inevitable.[7]
