Marie-Joseph Kampé de Fériet (Paris
, 14 May 1893 – Villeneuve d'Ascq
, 6 April 1982) was professor at Université Lille Nord de France
from 1919 to 1969. Besides his works on mathematics and fluid mechanics, he directed the Institut de mécanique des fluides de Lille (ONERA Lille
) and taught fluid dynamics and information theory
at École centrale de Lille
from 1930 to 1969.
He devised the Kampé de Fériet functions, which further generalize the generalized hypergeometric functions.
