Uwe Storch
Uwe Storch was a German mathematician. His field of research was commutative algebra, and analytic and algebraic geometry, in particular derivations, divisor [class group], and resultants.
Storch studied mathematics, physics, and mathematical logic at the University of Münster and Heidelberg University. He got his PhD in 1966 under the supervision of Heinrich Behnke with a thesis on almost factorial rings. He did his Habilitation in 1972 in Bochum and became a professor at the University of Osnabrück in 1974. From 1981 to 2006, when he became emeritus, he was a professor for algebra and geometry at Ruhr University Bochum.
He was married and had four sons.

The Theorem of Eisenbud-Evans-Storch states thatevery algebraic variety in n-dimensional affine space
is given geometrically by n polynomials.
