Frigyes Riesz (Hungarian: Riesz Frigyes, pronounced [ˈriːs ˈfriɟɛʃ], sometimes known in English and French as Frederic Riesz;[1] 22 January 1880 – 28 February 1956)[2] was a Hungarian[3] mathematician who made fundamental contributions to functional analysis, as did his younger brother Marcel Riesz.
