Martin Schechter (born 1930, Philadelphia) is an American mathematician whose work concerns mathematical analysis (specially partial differential equations and functional analysis and their applications to mathematical physics). He is a professor at the University of California, Irvine.[1]

Schechter did his undergraduate studies at the City University of New York.[1] He obtained his Ph.D. in 1957 from New York University (NYU) with Louis Nirenberg and Lipman Bers as thesis advisors; his dissertation was entitled On estimating partial differential operator in the L2-norm.[2] He taught at NYU from 1957 to 1966, and at Yeshiva University from 1966 to 1983, before moving to UC Irvine.[1]

He is the author of the textbook Principles of Functional Analysis (Academic Press, 1971; 2nd ed., AMS, 2002).[3]
