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.
