Biographical Note
J. Barkley Rosser was born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1907. He earned
both his Bachelor of Science (1929) and his Master of Science (1931) from the
University of Florida. He obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1934.
After getting his Ph.D., Rosser taught at Princeton, Harvard, and Cornell and
spent the latter part of his career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He
continued to lecture well into his late 70s, and died at his home in Madison in
1989.
Rosser contributed to many committees and professional associations in
addition to his teaching: he served as president of the Association for
Symbolic Logic and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics; was a
member of the space vehicle panel for the advisory committee of the Apollo
project; was an early contributor to computer science theory; and helped
develop the Polaris missile. While at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he
served as the director of the U. S. Army Mathematics Research Center. Rosser is
known for his part in the Church-Rosser theorem, in lambda calculus, and he
developed the Rosser sieve.
His areas of expertise include symbolic logic, ballistics, rocket
development, and numerical analysis.
