Marston Morse
Morse theory, which reads a shape from the critical points of a function on it.
Harold Calvin Marston Morse was an American mathematician best known for his work on the calculus of variations in the large, a subject where he introduced the technique of differential topology now known as Morse theory. The Morse-Palais lemma, one of the key results in Morse theory, is named after him, as is the Thue-Morse sequence, an infinite binary sequence with many applications.
