Hiroshi Haruki (春木 博, Haruki Hiroshi, died September 13, 1997) was a Japanese mathematician. A world-renowned expert in functional equations, he is best known for discovering "Haruki's theorem" and "Haruki's Lemma" in plane geometry.
Some of his published work, such as: "On a Characteristic Property o Conocal Conic Sections" [1] is available (open source) on Project Euclid.
Haruki earned his MSc and PhD from Osaka University and taught there. He was a professor at the University of Waterloo in Canada from 1966 till his retirement in 1986. He was a founding member of the university's computer science department (1967).
