The Kansas Academy of Mathematics and Science was established by legislative action in 2006 by the Kansas Legislature. [1] The establishment of this program stemmed from national concern regarding anticipated shortages of students who would be sufficiently well prepared in mathematical and scientific problem solving.
Georgia Caldwell Smith (1909–1961) was one of the first African-American women to gain a bachelor's degree in mathematics. [1] When she was 51, she earned a Ph.D. in mathematics, one of the earliest by an African-American woman, awarded posthumously in 1961. [2] [3] Smith was the head of the Department of Mathematics at Spelman College. [2] [4]
After earning a Ph.D. in mathematics at Princeton University in 1955, he was attached to the NSA until his discharge from the Navy in 1957. In 1958 he became a professor of mathematics and statistics at the University of Chicago, where he served as chair of the Department of Statistics from 1980 to 1983, and retired in 1994.
Julia Hall Bowman Robinson (December 8, 1919 – July 30, 1985) was an American mathematician noted for her contributions to the fields of computability theory and computational complexity theory—most notably in decision problems.
Errett Albert Bishop (July 14, 1928 – April 14, 1983) [1] was an American mathematician known for his work on analysis. He is best known for developing constructive analysis in his 1967 Foundations of Constructive Analysis, where he proved most of the important theorems in real analysis using "constructivist" methods.
After positions at the University of Barcelona and the Polytechnique University of Barcelona he took up a professorship at the University of Kansas and was the Black-Babcock Distinguished Professor in its Mathematics Department from 2012 to 2022. [1] He retired in 2022. [3]
