   Extractions: From Where I Sat: Garrett Birkhoff (1911–1996) Philip J. Davis He was not one of your bland personalities. Anyone who had anything to do with him soon came away with strong reactions. He was born with a mathematical spoon in his mouth, and this, added to his own remarkable mathematical talents, often led him to exhibit an hauteur rarely seen this side of an Oxbridge High Table. He was handsome and debonair. When I first met him, tweeds, dark flannels, brown leather loafers, and bow ties were de rigueur, and Garrett could have posed for a plate in a “History of Academic Dress.” None of the green bag, then canonical in Harvard Yard, for him—he carried his notes in a leather attaché case, a statement of suave aloofness. When I was a fledgling “section man,” he once reprimanded me for lecturing without a suit jacket. (It was during a summer term in a pre-air-conditioned world.) His father was George David Birkhoff (1884–1944), a Harvard mathematician of enormous international reputation, with whom Garrett was occasionally confused. To be the child of a famous parent is not an easy role, and I think he suffered from living in his father’s shadow. In his public lectures, he not infrequently referred to “my father,” as though his audience would know whom he meant and oblivious to the fact that as the years rolled on they increasingly did not. He may also have suffered from his own precocity. Garrett rose rapidly in the scientific world. In 1940, when he was 29, his Lattice Theory was published in the Colloquium Series of the American Mathematical Society. By 1941, A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with Saunders Mac Lane, was a runaway success as an undergraduate text. The book brought undergraduate mathematical teaching in the United States into the 20th century of structuralism, a point of view that the “Young Turks” of the generation, of whom Garrett was one, were vigorously promoting. With excellent exposition, with the right selection of material, with the right level of abstractness, with a good spread of problems, and with the authority of two distinguished researchers, it achieved that magic balance that subsequent textbook writers would strive for.

The son of a physician, he was educated at Harvard (B.A., 1905) and the Univ. of Chicago (Ph.D., 1907) After teaching shortly at Chicago and Princeton, he joined the faculty at Harvard (1912) where he taught until his death. Birkhoff, perhaps the first American mathematician of international repute, is known for his work on linear differential equations and difference equations. He was also deeply interested in and made contributions to the analysis of dynamical systems, celestial mechanics, the four-color map problem, and function spaces. In addition he wrote on the foundations of relativity and quantum mechanics and on art and music, e.g., Aesthetic Measure See his Collected Mathematical Papers (3 vol., 1950).

    Extractions: Birkhoff, Garrett 1911-, American mathematician, b. Princeton, N.J.; son of George David Birkhoff. He was educated at Harvard (B.A., 1932) where he was elected a fellow in 1933 and taught until his retirement in 1981. Birkoff has made several important contributions to abstract mathematics, the teaching of mathematics, and mathematical physics. From 1934 on he developed the concept of a lattice, a generalized algebra with two operators, and showed how a number of subjects, e.g., Boolean algebra, projective geometry, and affine geometry, could be treated as special types of lattices. His text A Survey of Modern Algebra (with Saunders MacLane, 1941) became a standard undergraduate textbook. See his Lattice Theory (1940, 3d ed. 1967).
