. "Herbert Ellis Robbins (January 12, 1915 \u2013 February 12, 2001) was one of the most prominent American mathematicians and statisticians of the 20th century. He did research in topology, measure theory, statistics, and a variety of other fields. He was the co-author, with Richard Courant, of What is Mathematics?, a popularization that is still (as of 2012) in print. The Robbins lemma, used in empirical Bayes methods, is named after him."@en . . . "1915-01-12Z"^^ . . "2001Z"^^ . "Robbins, Herbert"@en . "1915Z"^^ . "Herbert Ellis Robbins"@en . "2001-02-12Z"^^ .
