Wallace Smith Martindale

Wallace Smith Martindale III (born August 1930 in Philadelphia) is an American mathematician, known for Martindale's Theorem (1969) and the Martindale ring of quotients introduced in the proof of the theorem.[1][2][3] His 1969 paper generalizes Posner's theorem and a theorem of Amitsur[4] and gives an independent, unified proof of the two theorems.[1]
