چکیده
In this paper, we look at the post World War II immigration and journey of a famous mathematician to the United States. Michel Loève, originally from Palestine, was a probabilist who studied mathematics at the Université de Paris under Paul Lévy. He ended his carrier in the Department of Statistics at Berkeley, with many other foreign mathematicians. Before and after his departure from France, he exchanged many letters with contemporary probabilists, among them Paul Lévy, Maurice Fréchet and Jerzy Neyman. We give an insight into Loève’s life through these three correspondences.
