}}Rudy Lee Horne (1968 – 2017) was an African-American mathematician and professor of mathematics at Morehouse College. He worked on dynamical systems, including nonlinear waves. He was the mathematics consultant for the film Hidden Figures.[2]

Early life and education

Horne grew up in the south side of Chicago.[3] His father worked at Sherwin-Williams.[2] He graduated from Crete-Monee High School.[3][4] He completed a double degree in mathematics and physics at the University of Oklahoma in 1991.[5][6] He joined the University of Colorado Boulder for his postgraduate studies, earning a master's in physics in 1994 and in mathematics in 1996. He completed his doctorate, Collision induced timing jitter and four-wave mixing in wavelength division multiplexing soliton systems, in 2001 which was supervised by Mark J. Ablowitz.[1][7] He was the first African American to graduate from the University of Colorado Boulder Department of Applied Mathematics.[8]

Career and research

After completing his PhD, Horne had a position at the California State University, East Bay.[3] before working as postdoctoral researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with Chris Jones.[9] Horne joined Florida State University in 2005.[8][10] Horne joined Morehouse College in 2010 and was promoted to associate professor of mathematics in 2015.[3] He continued to study four-wave mixing.[11] His work considered nonlinear optical phenomena.[9][12][13] He uncovered effects in parity-time symmetric systems.[14]

Horne was recommended to serve as a mathematics consultant for Hidden Figures by Morehouse College.[15][16] He worked closely with Theodore Melfi ensured the actors knew how to pronounce "Euler's".[3][17][18][19][20][21] He spent four months working with 20th Century Fox.[8] In particular, Horne worked with Taraji P. Henson on the mathematics she required for her role as Katherine Johnson.[22][23] He taught the cast how to get excited by mathematics.[24] His handwriting is on screen during a scene at the beginning of the film where Katherine Johnson solves a quadratic equation.[6] He appeared on the interview series In the Know.[25] Horne completed a Mathematical Association of America Maths Fest tour where he discussed the mathematics in Hidden Figures, focussing on the calculations that concerned Glenn's orbit around in 1962.[26][27] Her appeared on NPR's Closer Look.[28]

He died on December 11, 2017 after surgery for a torn aorta.[29][30][3] The University of Colorado Boulder established a Rudy Lee Horne Memorial Fellowship in his honour.[8][31] He was described as a "rock star", inspiring generations of black students.[32][22] He was awarded the National Association of Mathematicians (NAM) lifetime achievement award posthumously in 2018.[33]
