> Richard Allen Askey was an American mathematician, known for his expertise in the area of special functions. The Askey-Wilson polynomials are on the top level of the Askey scheme, which organizes orthogonal polynomials of hypergeometric type into a hierarchy. The Askey-Gasper inequality for Jacobi polynomials is essential in de Brange's famous proof of the Bieberbach conjecture.
