		Lehmer was born in Berkeley, California, to Derrick Norman Lehmer, a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Clara Eunice Mitchell.
		Lehmer was chairman of the Department of Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley from 1954 until 1957.
		In 1950, Lehmer was one of 31 University of California faculty fired after refusing to sign a loyalty oath, a policy initiated by the Board of Regents of the State of California in 1950 during the Communist scare personified by Senator Joseph McCarthy.

		Honoring the Lehmer mathematical family, the Lehmer Conference was held at the end of August, 2000 at UC Berkeley.
		Many Lehmer family members attended the banquet held on the second day of the conference, and several described childhood experiences and the influence that D.H. and Emma had on their lives.
		He collaborated with his son, Derrick Henry, in devising an ingenious, complicated calculating machine, using both electricity and light, and capable of determining whether any given number, even of astronomic size, is a prime.

		Lehmer and his wife remained at Lehigh until 1940 except for the year 1938-39 which they spent in England visiting both the University of Cambridge and the University of Manchester.
		For Lehmer, however, the problem was not so acute for he was able to take up the post of Director of the National Bureau of Standards' Institute for Numerical Analysis for the time that he was unable to hold his faculty position in Berkeley.
		Lehmer was awarded an honorary degree from Brown University in 1980.

	Lehmer_Derrick biography
		His parents were Clara Eunice Mitchell and Derrick Norman Lehmer (often called DNL to distinguish him from his son DHL, or as we noted Dick).
		In 1927 Lehmer graduated from Berkeley with a B.A. degree in Physics and he went to the University of Chicago to undertake research for his doctorate in mathematics with L E Dickson as his supervisor.
		Lehmer's life over the next few years involved moving from place to place hoping for a permanent university post in the particularly difficult times of the Great Depression.

	The Lehmers at Berkeley Exhibit: Introduction
		Derrick Norman Lehmer joined the mathematics faculty at Berkeley in 1900, and later served as Chair of the Department.
		Son Derrick Henry (Dick, as he was known to friends and family) received a bachelor's degree in Physics at Berkeley, and later continued the Berkeley tradition of the family as professor and Chair of the Mathematics Department.
		Derrick Henry and Emma Lehmer worked together as a team for sixty years, influencing many through their broad knowledge and expertise in mathematics, as well as their sociability.

		Her father-in-law, Derrick Norman Lehmer, was also a mathematician who had employed Emma (at student wages) to do some tedious tabulating work that his son was also helping him with.
		Emma and her husband moved to Brown University where D.H. Lehmer received his Ph.D. in mathematics and Emma Lehmer received a master's degree, both in 1930.
		In August 2000, UC Berkeley hosted the Lehmer Conference to highlight the mathematical contributions, inventions, and influences from Derrick Norman Lehmer, Derrick Henry Lehmer, and Emma Lehmer.

	Lehmer's Problem
		Mahler's measure of a polynomial f is defined to be the absolute value of the product of those roots of f which lie outside the unit disk, multiplied by the absolute value of the coefficient of the leading term of f.
		Lehmer's problem, sometimes called Lehmer's question, or Lehmer's conjecture, asks if there exists a constant C > 1 such that every polynomial f with integer coefficients and M(f) > 1 has M(f)
		Lehmer added the following remark in his 1933 paper (using Ω to denote the measure):
