James Morrow (mathematician)
James Allen Morrow , called Jim Morrow , (born September 14, 1941 ) is an American mathematician .
Life
Morrow received his PhD from Stanford University in 1967 with Kunihiko Kodaira (The Topological Type of Non-Singular Deformations of Singular Surfaces). As a post-doctoral student, he taught at the University of California, Berkeley for two years . He is a professor at the University of Washington , where he has taught since 1969.
He dealt with complex analysis , about which he published a monograph with his teacher Kodaira in 1971, and inverse mathematical problems of computer tomography , especially electrical impedance tomography and inverse problems of electrical networks. From 1988 he also directed regular summer programs for students (Research Experiences for Undergraduates, REU), which also led to various publications. He also prepared students for the international Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM).
In 2006 he received the Distinguished Teaching Award from the Pacific Northwest Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and in 2005 the Education Prize from the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences at the University of British Columbia.
He should not be confused with a mathematician of the same name who is a professor at Mount Holyoke College .
