description: "Paul Felix Lazarsfeld was an Austrian-American sociologist and mathematician. The founder of Columbia University's Bureau of Applied Social Research, he exerted influence over the techniques and the organization of social research. \"It is not so much that he was an American sociologist,\" one colleague said of him after his death, \"as it was that he determined what American sociology would be.\" Lazarsfeld said that his goal was \"to produce Paul Lazarsfelds\". He was a founding figure in 20th-century empirical sociology."
