Why Is Louis Landweber Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Louis Landweber , was a leading ship hydrodynamicist, known for Landweber iteration. Education and career Landweber received in 1932 a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the City College of New York. After graduation, he became a physicist at the United States Experimental Model Basin at the Washington Navy Yard. He received a master's degree in physics from George Washington University. Starting in 1940, he led a research group for mine-sweeping and other war-related activities. He received a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Maryland and was promoted to the head of the hydrodynamics division of the David Taylor Model Basin in Carderock, Maryland, before leaving for a professorship at the University of Iowa. There he was a research engineer at the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research as well as a professor of mechanics and hydraulics at the University of Iowa, where he remained until his retirement in 1982.
