Why Is Wally Smith Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Walter Laws Smith was a British-born American mathematician, known for his contributions to applied probability theory. Biography Smith was born in London on November 12, 1926. Smith received a B.A. in mathematics from Cambridge University, having gained First Class in the Mathematical Tripos Part 1 and Part 2. He then received an M.A. and Ph.D from Cambridge. His dissertation was entitled Stochastic Sequences of Events advised by Henry Daniels and D. R. Cox, with whom he published the book Queues and also published with in his early years. He became a professor of statistics at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill , and he was an emeritus professor in the Department of Statistics and Operations Research.
