Tobias Dantzig

Tobias Dantzig (February 19, 1884 – August 9, 1956) was a Baltic German Russian American mathematician, the father of George Dantzig, and the author of "NUMBER: The Language of Science (A Critical Survey Written for the Cultured non Mathematician)" and "Aspects of Science" (New York, Macmillan, 1937).

Born in Latvia, Dantzig studied mathematics with Henri Poincaré in Paris. Tobias married a fellow Sorbonne University student, Anja Ourisson, and the couple emigrated to the United States in 1910. Working for a time as a lumberjack in Oregon, Dantzig received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Indiana University in 1917 [ [http://www.genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=1995 The Mathematics Genealogy Project - Tobias Dantzig ] ] . He taught at Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, and the University of Maryland. Dantzig died in Los Angeles in 1956.
