Mathematical Genealogy
The Mathematics Genealogy
Project is a database recording the "academic genealogy" of mathematicians; that is,
the lineage of students and advisors for individuals who have earned Ph.D.s in
mathematics. My academic genealogy is below, listing years that Ph.D.s were granted and
moving from advisor to student as one goes down.
