Why Is Thomas H. Stix Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Thomas Howard Stix was an American physicist. Stix performed seminal work in plasma physics and wrote the first mathematical treatment of the field in 1962's The Theory of Plasma Waves. History Born in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 12, 1924, Stix grew up near Washington University. The Stix family owned Rice-Stix Inc., a dry goods firm that was among the city's largest businesses at the turn of the 20th century. It continued operations until the 1950s. His family home on Forsyth Boulevard was eventually donated to Washington University and is now the Stix International House.
