Frank Grosshans

Frank D. Grosshans (born 1942)^[1] is an American mathematician who works in invariant theory, where he is known for the discovery of Grosshans subgroups and Grosshans graded coefficients.^[2] He is a professor of mathematics at West Chester University, Pennsylvania.^[3] Grosshans has been an invited speaker at meetings of the Mathematical Association of America.^[4]

He received his B.S. from the University of Illinois and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Chicago.^[3] He taught at University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University before joining the West Chester University.
