In the history of mathematics, H. Blaine Lawson is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists H. Blaine Lawson as American mathematician.
H. Blaine Lawson was born at Norristown in 1942. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at Stanford University.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of California, Berkeley and Stony Brook University.
The recorded fields of work are algebraic cycle.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
Recognition followed: Leroy P. Steele Prize (1975).
That the work was done from United States matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
