BiographyRice was born on June 6, 1934 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and grew up in small towns in Oklahoma.[2][3] As a teenager, his father was assigned to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he lived for three years.[3] He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Oklahoma State University in 1954 and 1956;[2] while studying there, he spent his summers in southern California, working in the aerospace industry.[3] He then moved to the California Institute of Technology, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1959 under the supervision of Arthur Erdélyi; his dissertation concerned approximation theory.[2][3][4] After taking a one-year postdoctoral position at the National Bureau of Standards, he became a researcher for General Motors.[2][3] In 1964 he left GM and joined the recently founded computer science department at Purdue, which he later headed from 1983 to 1996[2][3] Rice organized the first Symposium on Mathematical Software at Purdue University in 1970, which produced the recommendation to start a journal for the field.[5] This led to the founding of ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) in 1975, of which Rice would be editor-in-chief until 1993.[1][2] He was chair of the Computing Research Association from 1991 to 1993.[1][2][6] ResearchRice showed an early interest in computing, publishing a paper titled "Electronic Brains" as a college sophomore.[2] Although his early research was on the mathematics of approximation theory,[2][3] he spent most of his career working in the analysis of algorithms for solving numerical problems, and particularly on the solution of elliptic partial differential equations.[1][3] BooksRice's Introduction to Computer Science (with J. K. Rice, published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston in 1969) was the "leading textbook of the day"[2] and emphasized general principles of algorithms and data structures rather than specific programming languages, the focus of previous introductory CS texts.[3] It was translated into three other languages.[7] Rice's other books include:[1]
Awards and honorsRice was named the Brooks Fortune Professor in 1989.[2] In 1994, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for his "establishing and seminal contributions to the field of mathematical software".[2] He is also a Fellow of the AAAS and a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[1][2] See also
