John Colin Stillwell (born 1942) is an Australian mathematician on the faculties of the University of San Francisco and Monash University.[1]
Biography
He was born in Melbourne, Australia and lived there until he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his doctorate.[1] He received his PhD from MIT in 1970, working under Hartley Rogers, Jr,[2] who had himself worked under Alonzo Church.[3] From 1970 until 2001, he taught at Monash University back in Australia and in 2002 began teaching in San Francisco.[1]
Honors
In 2005, Stillwell was the recipient of the Mathematical Association of America's prestigious Chauvenet Prize for his article "The Story of the 120-Cell,"[4] Notices of the AMS, January 2001, pp. 17–24.[5] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[6]
