	Garrett Birkhoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Garrett Birkhoff (January 19, 1911, Princeton, New Jersey, USA - November 22, 1996, Water Mill, New York, USA) was an American mathematician.
		Papers Birkhoff wrote in the 1930s, and his 1940 monograph on the subject, raised lattices into a full-blown branch of abstract algebra.
		Birkhoff also founded of a new branch of mathematics, universal algebra, with his 1935 paper, On the Structure of Abstract Algebras.

	Harvard Gazette: Memorial Minute
		Garrett Birkhoff spent practically his entire scientific life at Harvard.
		It is a testament to Garrett Birkhoff's strength of character that he entered a field dominated by his father and was able to have such a brilliant and varied career.
		Birkhoff served as assistant professor from 1938 to 1941, associate professor from 1941 to 1946, and full professor from 1946 to 1981.

		Garrett's father, G D Birkhoff, advised him to study mathematical physics and Garrett took undergraduate courses with this aim in mind.
		Birkhoff graduated from Harvard in 1932 and was awarded a Henry Fellowship to study at Cambridge University in England.
		From Cambridge Birkhoff went to Munich for a month in July 1933 and worked on his own on group theory, but while he was there he visited Carathéodory who pointed him towards van der Waerden's algebra text and Speiser's group theory book.

	Is logic empirical? - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The replacement derives from the work of Garrett Birkhoff and John von Neumann on quantum logic.
		Birkhoff and von Neumann proposed to resolve those paradoxes by abandoning the principle of distributivity, thus substituting their quantum logic for classical logic.
		Indeed a sort of analogy had been established in the mid-nineteen thirties by Garrett Birkhoff and John von Neumann between a non-classical propositional logic and some aspects of the measurement process in quantum mechanics.

		Birkhoff was awarded his A.B. Birkhoff returned to the University of Chicago in 1905 to study for his doctorate.
		Birkhoff read Poincare's works on differential equations and celestial mechanics and he learnt more, and was more strongly influenced in the direction his research was taking, by Poincare than from his supervisor.
		Birkhoff taught at the University of Wisconsin at Madison as an instructor from 1907 to 1909.

		Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1996 16:24:35 -0500 Subject: Garrett Birkhoff I learned only from NA Digest of Garrett Birkhoff's death; I had, to be sure, heard earlier that he was not well.
		It is a loss that means a lot to me. Garrett was formally my thesis director, but we had only sporadic sessions in that relation, and I never really "studied with" him.
		Garrett's integrity and conscience were plain and clearly felt to me. We never made a habit of talking politics, and wouldn't always have agreed if we had, but my respect for the core of his beliefs was one of the things that made me value him as a teacher.

		George David Birkhoff (21 March 1884 - 12 November 1944) was an American mathematician, and one of the most important leaders in mathematics in the USA in his generation.
		This combined insights from Physics on the ergodic hypothesis with an abstract formulation in terms of measure theory; it opened up a whole area related to probability theory and dynamical systems.He also worked on many other areas, initially in number theory and also on the Riemann-Hilbert problem and the three-body problem.
		The charge of anti-Semitism against Birkhoff is however generally regarded as substantiated in some specific ways.The mathematician Garrett Birkhoff (1911-1996) was his son.
