Why Is Gilbert Ames Bliss Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Gilbert Ames Bliss, , was an American mathematician, known for his work on the calculus of variations. Life Bliss grew up in a Chicago family that eventually became affluent; in 1907, his father became president of the company supplying all of Chicago's electricity. The family was not affluent, however, when Bliss entered the University of Chicago in 1893 . Hence he had to support himself while a student by winning a scholarship, and by playing in a student professional mandolin quartet.
