Wendell Helms Fleming (March 7, 1928 – February 18, 2023) was an American mathematician, specializing in geometrical analysis and stochastic differential equations.Fleming received his PhD in 1951 under Laurence Chisholm Young at the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a thesis entitled ''Boundary and related notions for generalized parametric surfaces''. Fleming was a professor at Brown University, where he retired in 2009 as professor emeritus.
Fleming was with Herbert Federer a pioneer of geometric measure theory. Later in his career, he worked on stochastic processes, stochastic differential equations and their applications in control theory. In 1976–1977 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. In 1982 he gave a plenary address (''Optimal control of Markov Processes'') at the ICM in Warsaw. Provided by Wikipedia
