Elizabeth Spencer Allman (born 1965) [1] is an American mathematician. She is a professor of mathematics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Alaska Fairbanks; her research interests range from abstract algebra and algebraic statistics to biomathematics and phylogeny. [2]
Allman earned her Ph.D. in 1995 from the University of California, Los Angeles under the supervision of Murray M. Schacher. Her dissertation, in abstract algebra, was Polynomials Without Roots in Division Algebras. [3]
With her Fairbanks colleague John A. Rhodes, Allman is the author of a book on mathematical biology and mathematical modeling, Mathematical Models in Biology: An Introduction (Cambridge University Press, 2004). [4]
In 2012, Allman became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [5]
Ronald Lewis Graham was an American mathematician credited by the American Mathematical Society as "one of the principal architects of the rapid development worldwide of discrete mathematics in recent years". He was president of both the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America, and his honors included the Leroy P. Steele Prize for lifetime achievement and election to the National Academy of Sciences.
Solomon Feferman was an American philosopher and mathematician who worked in mathematical logic. In addition to his prolific technical work in proof theory, computability theory, and set theory, he was known for his contributions to the history of logic and as a vocal proponent of the philosophy of mathematics known as predicativism, notably from an anti-platonist stance.
