The Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP) is a web-based database for the academic genealogy of mathematicians. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] As of 1 December 2023, [update] it contained information on 300,152 mathematical scientists who contributed to research-level mathematics.
The Bernoulli family (/ b ɜːr ˈ n uː l i / bur-NOO-lee; German: [bɛʁˈnʊli]; [a] Swiss Standard German: [bɛrˈnʊli]) of Basel was a patrician family, notable for having produced eight mathematically gifted academics who, among them, contributed substantially to the development of mathematics and physics during the early modern period.
Websites such as the Mathematics Genealogy Project [3] [4] or the Chemical Genealogy [5] document academic lineages for specific subject areas, while some other sites, such as Neurotree and Academic Family Tree aim to provide a complete academic genealogy across all fields of academia.
Harry Bernard Coonce (March 19, 1938 – February 14, 2025) was an American mathematician notable for being the originator of the now-popular Mathematics Genealogy Project, launched in 1996, a web-based catalog of mathematics doctoral advisors and students.
Academic Family Tree has its own mathematics tree, MathTree [19] but it is much less complete than the Mathematics Genealogy Project. As of 29 September 2023, MathTree contained 35,817 people [19] whereas the Mathematics Genealogy Project contained 297,268 people. [18] One other general academic genealogy was PhD Tree. [20]
Johann Bernoulli [a] (also known as Jean in French or John in English; 6 August [O.S. 27 July] 1667 – 1 January 1748) was a Swiss mathematician and was one of the many prominent mathematicians in the Bernoulli family.
Among his students was his son Elbert Lucien Cox, and William Schieffelin Claytor, the third African-American to get a Ph.D. in mathematics. Cox was promoted to professor in 1947. [1] In 1957, he became head of the Department of Mathematics, a position which he held until 1961. [2] He retired in 1965 at the age of 70, three years before his ...
Walter Feit (October 26, 1930 – July 29, 2004) was an Austrian-born American mathematician who worked in finite group theory and representation theory.His contributions provided elementary infrastructure used in algebra, geometry, topology, number theory, and logic.
