Education and career

Martin received his B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962 and was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard Society of Fellows in 1965–67.[1] In 2014, he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2]

Philosophical and mathematical work

Among Martin's most notable work are the proofs of analytic determinacy (from the existence of a measurable cardinal), Borel determinacy (from ZFC alone), the proof (with John R. Steel) of projective determinacy (from suitable large cardinal axioms), and his work on Martin's axiom. The Martin measure on Turing degrees is also named after Martin.

gollark: It would be politically bad to close them because people would complain about "an entire lost generation" or something as if school is *that* important.EDIT: over here, I mean.

gollark: The UK rolled out a contact tracing app (very late) but I have no idea how much use it actually has.
