Henry Berthold Mann (27 October 1905, Vienna – 1 February 2000, Tucson) was a professor of mathematics and statistics at the Ohio State University. Mann proved the Schnirelmann-Landau conjecture in number theory, and as a result earned the 1946 Cole Prize. He and his student D. Ransom Whitney developed the ("Mann-Whitney") U-statistic of nonparametric statistics. Mann published the first mathematical book on the design of experiments: Mann (1949).

H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Elie Faure, Oswald Spengler, Marcel Proust, Van Gogh, the Dadaists and Surrealists, Balzac, Lewis Carroll, Nijinsky, Rimbaud, Blaise Cendrars, Jean Giono, Celine, everything I read on Zen Buddhism, everything I read about China, India, Tibet, Arabia, Africa, and of course the Bible, the men who wrote it and especially the men who made the King James version, for it was the language of the Bible rather than its “message” which I got first and which I will never shake off.””

The Books in My Life

“Das Wahlergebnis ist daher nie mehr als eine Zweckmäßigkeit. Selbst für das Rechte zu stimmen bedeutet nichts dafür zu tun. Es zeigt anderen Gegenüber nur den schwachen Wunsch, dass es vorherrschen möge.Ein weiser Mann wird das Rechte nicht der Gnade des Zufalls überlassen. Noch wird er wünschen, dass es sich durch die Kraft der Mehrheit durchsetzt. Es ist nur wenig Tugend in der Handlung der Vielen. [...] Nur dessen Stimme kann die Abschaffung der Sklaverei beschleunigen, der seine eigene Freiheit dafür auf’s Spiel setzt.””

Über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat

“Unfortunately, the truth is that in universities the world over, the tremendous analytical power and insights of market economics are unappreciated. For whatever political or ideological reasons, we have deprived generations of university students of a clear understanding of basic economic forces and their proper role in a free society.””
