Why Is Silvan S. Schweber Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Silvan Samuel Schweber was a French-born American theoretical physicist and historian of science. In 1944 Schweber began to study chemistry at the City College of New York and in 1947 moved to the University of Pennsylvania as a physics major, where he studied with Walter Elsasser and Herbert Jehle. After obtaining his master's degree in 1949, he went to Princeton University, where he studied with David Bohm and Eugene Wigner. In 1952 he received his doctorate under Arthur Wightman.
