His family immigrated to Logan, Utah (1929) where Piranian received a B.Sc. in agriculture and M.Sc. in botany (1937) at Utah State University. As a Rhodes scholar, Piranian first "tasted blood" in mathematics at Oxford. After returning to the United States, Piranian earned his Ph.D. in mathematics under Szolem Mandelbrojt at Rice University (1943). Piranian's dissertation was entitled A Study of the Position and Nature of the Singularities of Functions Given by Their Taylor Series.[4] Piranian joined the faculty at University of Michigan in 1945. Editing the Michigan Mathematical Journal{{See also|Michigan Mathematical Journal}}In 1952, Piranian, along with Paul Erdős, Fritz Herzog and Arthur J. Lohwater, founded the Michigan Mathematical Journal; leadership in editing was assumed by Piranian in 1954. Piranian's editing was renowned in mathematics.[5][6] TeachingPiranian's teaching captivated several future research mathematicians.[7][8] Piranian also was an advisor with the Honors Program at the College of Literature, Science and the Arts at the University of Michigan. Teaching of Theodore KaczynskiIn the 1960s, Piranian taught and advised Theodore Kaczynski, who was a Ph.D. student in mathematics.[9] In the 1990s, Kaczynski was convicted of the Unabomber crimes.
