Robert Edward "Rufus" Bowen (23 February 1947 – 30 July 1978) was an internationally known professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, who specialized in dynamical systems theory.
Bowen's work dealt primarily with axiom A systems, but the methods he used while exploring topological entropy, symbolic dynamics, ergodic theory, Markov partitions, and invariant measures "have application far beyond the axiom A systems for which they were invented." The Bowen Lectures at the University of California, Berkeley, are given in his honor.
