Why Is Selmer M. Johnson Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Selmer Martin Johnson was an American mathematician, a researcher at the RAND Corporation. Biography Johnson was born on May 21, 1916, in Buhl, Minnesota. He earned a B.A. and then an M.A. in mathematics from the University of Minnesota in 1938 and 1940 respectively. World War II interrupted Johnson's mathematical studies: he enlisted in the United States Air Force, earning the rank of major. While serving, he also earned an M.S. in meteorology from New York University in 1942. After the war, Johnson returned to graduate study in mathematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, finishing his doctorate in 1950; his dissertation, on the subject of number theory, was supervised by David Bourgin, a student of George David Birkhoff. In the same year, he joined the RAND Corporation, becoming part of what has been called "the most remarkable group of mathematicians working on optimization ever assembled".
