(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, John Pascal Vinti was an American theoretical physicist, who published papers not only in physics, but also in mathematics and engineering. He is known for the Vinti integral. Biography His father, Giovanni Giuseppe Vinti , was born in Naples, Italy. In 1922 John P. Vinti graduated from Rogers High School in Newport, Rhode Island. At his high school graduation, he was honored with a prize in scholarship and a prize in mathematics. At age 15 Vinti matriculated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology . There he graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1927 and a Ph.D. in physics in 1932. His thesis Ph.D. thesis is entitled Variational calculation of atomic wave functions. As a postdoc he worked at the University of Pennsylvania from 1932 to 1934 on helium's absorption spectrum. He was from 1934 to 1935 an assistant at MIT, from 1936 to 1937 an instructor at Brown University, from 1937 to 1938 an assistant professor at The Citadel, and from 1939 to 1941 an instructor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In 1941 he joined the physics staff of the Ballistics Research Laboratory at Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground. There he became chief of the Interior Ballistics Theory Section and a senior physicist . At Aberdeen he developed a keen interest in celestial mechanics and "a close professional relationship with John von Neumann and Maria Goeppert-Mayer."
