Ronald graham cause of death

52. Ronald L. Graham

President, 1993–1994

Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley, 1962

After receiving his Ph.D. in 1962, Graham spent 37 years at Bell Labs (now AT&T Labs) as a researcher then as chief scientist. During that time he also held visiting positions at Princeton University, Stanford University, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of California, Los Angeles, and was a (part-time) University Professor at Rutgers for 10 years.

He served as president of the Mathematical Association of American from 2003 to 2004. He held the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Chair of Computer and Information Science at the University of California at San Diego. Graham has received many awards, including the AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement in 2003 for being one of the principal architects of the rapid development worldwide of discrete mathematics in recent years.

Graham is a member of many organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences, and is past president of the International Jugglers Association. Graham is a Fellow of the AM

American mathematician (1935–2020)

For other people named Ronald Graham, see Ronald Graham (disambiguation).

Ronald Lewis Graham (October 31, 1935 – July 6, 2020)[1] was an American mathematician credited by the American Mathematical Society as "one of the principal architects of the rapid development worldwide of discrete mathematics in recent years".[2] He was president of both the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America, and his honors included the Leroy P. Steele Prize for lifetime achievement and election to the National Academy of Sciences.

After graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley, Graham worked for many years at Bell Labs and later at the University of California, San Diego. He did important work in scheduling theory, computational geometry, Ramsey theory, and quasi-randomness,[3] and many topics in mathematics are named after him. He published six books and about 400 papers, and had nearly 200 co-authors, including many collaborative works with his wi



With Ron in August, 2015
Ron Graham (1935/10/31 -- 2020/07/06) was a mathematician that the American Mathematical Society described as "one of the principal architects of the rapid development worldwide of discrete mathematics in recent years". Most recently he was at the University of California, San Diego, having moved on from a quite senior position at the Bell Labs or AT&T research centre based at Murray Hill. Just how senior he was I've never been able to work out, as he was a modest and unassuming man. Wikipedia lists him as having done important work in scheduling theory, computational geometry, Ramsey theory, and quasi-randomness. But this doesn't really capture the man.

Ron was also a 7-ball juggler, an international standard gymnast and trampoliner, was President of the International Jugglers Association, all in addition to being a well-known and widely respected research mathematician. He was even featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Ron regularly worked in close collaboration with Paul Erdos, even to the point of having a room in his house for Pa
