Why Is William J. Firey Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, William James Firey was an American mathematician, specializing in the geometry of convex bodies. Born in Montana, Firey moved with his family to Seattle when he was 6 years old. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Army as a medical technician in Europe. He married in 1946. During the first years of their marriage, the couple worked for the United States Forest Service during summers in fire look-out stations in the Washington Cascades.
