John Milnor is a prominent American mathematician known for his groundbreaking work in topology, differential topology, and algebraic K-theory. He is particularly recognized for his contributions to the development of Milnor's K-theory, which extends classical K-theory concepts to a broader context, connecting algebraic geometry and topology with fields like algebraic K-theory introduced by Quillen.
