David William Matula (born 1937)[1] is an American mathematician and computer scientist known for his research on graph theory, graph algorithms, computer arithmetic, and algorithm engineering. He is a professor emeritus at Southern Methodist University, where he formerly held the Cruse C. and Marjorie F. Calahan Centennial Chair in Engineering.[2]
Education and career
[edit | edit source]Matula was an undergraduate in Engineering physics[3] at Washington University in St. Louis,[2] graduating in 1959.[4] He completed his Ph.D. in 1966 at the University of California, Berkeley, with the dissertation Games of Sequence Prediction supervised by David Blackwell.[5]
After completing his Ph.D., he returned to Washington University in St. Louis as a faculty member. He joined the Southern Methodist University faculty in 1974 as chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Department,[2] was named to the Cruse C. and Marjorie F. Calahan Centennial Chair in Engineering in 2016,[4] and retired in 2018.[2]
Book
[edit | edit source]Matula is the coauthor, with Peter Kornerup, of the book Finite Precision Number Systems and Arithmetic (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications 133, Cambridge University Press, 2010).[6]
