Aurel Friedrich Wintner (8 April 1903 – 15 January 1958) was a mathematician noted for his research in mathematical analysis, number theory, differential equations and probability theory.[1] He was one of the founders of probabilistic number theory. He received his Ph.D from the University of Leipzig in 1928 under the guidance of Leon Lichtenstein. He taught at Johns Hopkins University.

gollark: Except during that downtime or whatever, which probably shouldn't even occur for very long (it's in ~~stupidity~~ PHP so just a file-copying-over thingy).

gollark: https://dragcave.net/makeallmyeggsgold was functioning perfectly.

gollark: Not *all* of it.

gollark: TJ09 works in mysterious, changelogless, closed-source, no-testing ways.

gollark: @TJ09 is it?
