Hendrik Brugt Gerhard Casimir (1909-2000). The Physicist in Research, Industry and Society
Abstract
If one checks various dictionaries for the name `Casimir', one will find quite a few entries under the subjects of mathematics and physics, as well as in many international Who's Whos. All refer to the same person, who is particularly associated with a mathematical concept, the `Casimir operator', and a physical phenomenon, the `Casimir effect'.
