Herbert Kenneth Kunen (August 2, 1943 – August 14, 2020[1]) was a professor of mathematics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison[2] who worked in set theory and its applications to various areas of mathematics, such as set-theoretic topology and measure theory. He also worked on non-associative algebraic systems, such as loops, and used computer software, such as the Otter theorem prover, to derive theorems in these areas.
