Willard L. Miranker (March 8, 1932 - April 28, 2011) was an American mathematician and computer scientist, known for his contributions to applied mathematics and numerical mathematics.
Raised in Brooklyn, New York, he earned B.A. (1952), M.S. (1953) and Ph.D. (1956) from the Courant Institute at New York University, the latter on the thesis The Asymptotic Theory of Solutions of U + (K2)U = 0 advised by Joseph Keller.
He then worked for the mathematics department at Bell Labs (1956–58) before joining IBM Research (1961).
After retirement from IBM, he joined the computer science faculty at Yale University (1989) as research faculty.
He also held professor affiliations at California Institute of Technology (1963), Hebrew University of Jerusalem (1968), Yale University (1973), University of Paris-Sud (1974), City University of New York (1966–) and New York University (1970–73).
Miranker's work[1] includes articles and books on stiff differential equations,[2] interval arithmetic,[3] analog computing, and neural networks and the modeling of consciousness.
Miranker was also an expressionistic painter, having exhibited internationally in New York City, Paris and Bonn.

Willard Miranker's research has dealt with a variety of fields, including numerical mathematics, applied mathematics, and computer science. His recent interests are in consciousness studies, neural networks, both artificial neural nets and the neural networks which model cortical memory. He is also interested in quantum computing.
He is the author of several monographs in numerical mathematics and is an editor of the proceedings of several conferences on applied and numerical mathematics. He is a Fellow of the AAAS, and a recipient of the award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He has been an associate editor of COMPUTING, an advisory board member for the Journal of Parallel Computing, and since 1992, an advisory board member of the Journal of Neural, Parallel and Scientific Computation.
