Henry Bayard Phillips
Henry Bayard Phillips , often quoted as HB Phillips, (born September 27, 1881 in Yadkin College , Davidson County , North Carolina , † 1973 ) was an American mathematician .
Henry Phillips graduated from Erskine College with a bachelor's degree in 1900 and received his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University under Frank Morley in 1905 ( Some Invariants and Covariants of Ternary Collineations ). From 1905 to 1907 he was an instructor at the University of Cincinnati and then an instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he soon became a professor. There he was head of the mathematics faculty from 1934 to 1947 and retired in 1947.
He was known for various textbooks and dealt early with CLE Moore with vector analysis . With Norbert Wiener , he dealt with the numerical solution of partial differential equations on grids. His book on Analytical Geometry has also been translated into Spanish.
Phillips received an honorary doctorate (LLD) in 1939 and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1918 .
In 1929 he married Charlotte T. Perry.
