Ryogo Hirota (1932-2015) was a Japanese mathematician and professor at Waseda University who investigated integrable nonlinear differential equations and their discrete analogues.[1][2][3][4][5] He invented a method for solving nonlinear differential equations, which is currently known as "Hirota's direct method".[6][7][8]
