Anthony Perry Morse (21 August 1911 – 6 March 1984) was an American mathematician who worked in both analysis, especially measure theory, and in the foundations of mathematics. He is best known as the co-creator, together with John L. Kelley, of Morse–Kelley set theory. This theory first appeared in print in Kelley's General Topology.[1] Morse's own version appeared later in A Theory of Sets.[2][3]
He is also known for his work on the Morse–Sard theorem and the Federer–Morse theorem.
Anthony Morse should not be confused with Marston Morse, known for developing Morse theory.
