Francisco Mendes de Oliveira Castro, Brazilian mathematician (Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro 19 May 1902 – Rio de Janeiro 30 May 1993) Brother
of biologist Gustavo Mendes de Oliveira Castro Solved the Volterra integral equation using iterated nuclei method that earned him world renown Zur theorie der dielektrischen
