		Born Dirk Jan Struik in 1894 in Rotterdam, Holland, into the family of a teacher, Dirk attended the Hogere Bugerschool in The Hague, a middle class high school.

	Struik biography
		Struik was strongly influenced by Ehrenfest and attended the weekly seminar which he set up.
		Aside from this, Struik spent much of his time pursuing an entirely new research project: to study the origins of American science in their social and economic setting, a subject that had barely been touched on by historians before this time.
		Struik's Marxist views, however, were bound to lead to trouble in the McCarthy era and indeed this is exactly what happened.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Struik Cries 'Innocent' to Conspiracy Indictment, Plans to Battle In Courts
		Published On By PHILIP M. Dirk Jan Struik, professor of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said Saturday that he will fight his indictment of conspiracy to overthrow "by force" the governments of Massachusetts and the United States--to the highest courts in the land if necessary.
		Struik, indicted last Thursday by a Middlesex County Grand Jury, pleaded innocent in Superior Court Friday and was freed on $10,000 bail.
		Struik says he has never been a card-carrying Communist, but rather a "good Marxist." He defines Marxism as a "conception of the world"; communism, he maintains, is a political party.

	Geometry.Net - Scientists Books: Struik Dirk
		Struik's book, "A Concise History of Mathematics", is a well documented book with the main contributions, dates, and names of the people involved in the development of mathematics from their ancients origins until the first half of the 20th century.
		Struik's style of writing is clear and, how the title of the book says, concise, highlighting the relevant discoveries made in the field and relating them in order to give a better understanding of the subject.
		Reading is easy for all people because Struik avoids to use formulas where it is not necessary, focusing more in the works of the great mathematicians and describing them of a comprehensible way.
