MY MATHEMATICAL GENEALOGY TREE


In modern mathematics each mathematician begins his career as a graduate student of a PhD thesis advisor. Thus one can draw mathematical "family trees".

Below is my own lineage, found using the Mathematics Genealogy Project. It is supplemented by links to biographies from the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive.

Of course, in older times the advisor/advisee relationship was not so formal as it is nowadays. Thus, some of the earlier links shown here reflect a mentor/student circumstance that is somewhat different than the more recent links.
