William's Academic Lineage

My advisor was Alex Borgida. His advisor was Ray Perrault. Perrault had two advisors, Joyce Friedman and William Rounds.

So, I have two chains of "academic ancestors":

  • Joyce Friedman, Harvard 1965
  • Hao Wang, Harvard 1948
  • Willard Quine, Harvard 1932
  • Alfred Whitehead, Harvard 1884
  • W. D. Niven?
  • James Clerk Maxwell, Cambridge 1851?
  • William Rounds, Stanford 1968
  • Dana Scott, Princeton 1958
  • Alonzo Church, Princeton 1927
  • Oswald Veblen, University of Chicago 1903
  • E. H. Moore, Yale 1885
  • H. A. Newton, Yale 1850
  • Michel Chasles, Ecole Polytechnique 1814
  • Simeon Poisson
  • Joseph Lagrange
  • Leonhard Euler, Universitt Basel 1726
  • Johann Bernoulli, 1694
  • Jacob Bernoulli
  • Gottfried Leibniz, Universitt Altdorf 1666
  • Erhard Weigel, Universitt Leipzig 1650

All of this is thanks to Alex and the The Mathematics Geneology Project
