John Coleman Moore (May 27, 1923 – January 1, 2016) was an American mathematician. The Borel−Moore homology and Eilenberg–Moore spectral sequence are named after him.[1]
Moore was born in 1923 in Staten Island, New York[2] and received his Ph.D. in 1952 from Brown University under the supervision of George W. Whitehead. His most heavily cited paper is on Hopf algebras, co-authored with John Milnor.[3] As a faculty member at Princeton University, he advised 23 students and is the academic ancestor of 582 mathematicians.[4] He was an Invited Speaker at the ICM in 1958[5] in Edinburgh and in 1970 in Nice.
In 1983, a conference on K-theory was held at Princeton in honor of his 60th birthday.[6] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[7] He died in 2016 at the age of 92.[8]
