David Harold Bailey
David Harold Bailey (born August 14, 1948 ) is an American mathematician and computer scientist .
Life
After graduating from Brigham Young University (1972), he received his PhD in 1976 under Donald Ornstein at Stanford University with the thesis Sequential Schemes for Classifying and Predicting Ergodic Processes .
He worked as a computer scientist at NASA Ames Research Center for 14 years . There he developed a translator and a program library that made it possible to execute existing FORTRAN programs with selectable, many times increased numerical accuracy. Since 1998 he has been Chief Technologist of the Computational Research Department at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, specializing in mainframe and supercomputing.
Along with Peter Borwein and Simon Plouffe , he was in 1996 by the publication of the BBP series for known. This series was discovered with the help of the PSLQ algorithm for the finding of an integer linear dependency (integer relation) of given real numbers. The PSLQ algorithm was developed in 1992 by Bailey and Helaman Ferguson .
Bailey worked for many years with Jonathan Borwein (brother of Peter Borwein ). You have co-authored numerous articles and three books on experimental mathematics .
He is the recipient of the Chauvenet Prize and the Merten-Hasse Prize of the Mathematical Association of America . In 2008 he received the Gordon Bell Prize from the Association for Computing Machinery . In 1993 he received the first Sidney Fernbach Award .
