The following is from MIT TECH TALK (November 15, 2006): "George B. Thomas, a mathematician who turned a one-year teaching appointment at MIT into a 38-year career, and whose well-regarded textbook has been used around the world, died Oct. 31 of natural causes in State College, Pa. He was 92. Thomas, known as a young teacher for his ability to communicate mathematical concepts, was hired in 1951 by publisher Addison-Wesley to revise their standard, widely used calculus textbook. Rather than revise, he wrote his own, a classic text that has been in use for 54 years. At MIT, Thomas came to be regarded as an outstanding teacher, 'one of the best teachers the department has ever had,' according to then department head Ted Martin� Thomas was born Jan. 11, 1914, in Boise, Idaho� [He studied] at Spokane University and Washington State College, which led to bachelor's and master's degrees� During World War II, Thomas helped program the differential analyzer for the calculation of firing tables for the Navy. After the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in October 1957, Thomas was part of a national effort to improve math and science education in American schools� [He] eventually went to Cornell, where he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1940, and then came to MIT, from which he retired in 1978. Thomas' commitment to education went well beyond MIT. From 1955-57, he served on the Board of Governors of the Mathematical Association of America, an organization devoted to mathematics, especially at the undergraduate level. He was elected its first Vice-President 1958-59. Thomas also served on the Executive Committee, Mathematics Division, of the American Society for Engineering Education from 1956-59. He was a member of the Commission on Mathematics of the College Entrance Examination Board, 1955-58, for which he co-authored monographs on mathematics, and spoke at numerous forums about teaching and high school curriculum reform. In addition to his calculus text, which had a significant impact, he was also one of the editors on a series of high school mathematics texts for Addison-Wesley Publishing.". SIGNED by George Thomas. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Soft Cover. Very Good condition. (iv), 508pp. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed).
