Errett Bishop (1928–2019) was a prominent American mathematician known for his significant contributions to functional analysis and mathematical pedagogy. He is particularly well-known for his work in the foundations of mathematics, especially in the field of constructive mathematics. Bishop advocated for a constructive approach to analysis, which emphasizes the importance of providing explicit examples and methods for proving the existence of mathematical objects rather than relying on non-constructive methods prevalent in classical mathematics.
