- TITLE:
- Moore, R.L., Papers, 1898-1974.
- DESCRIPTION:
- 32 ft.
- NOTES:
- Organized into four series: 1. Mathematical papers. 2. Correspondence. 3. University of Texas, Teaching, National Academy of Sciences. 4. Personal.
- Summary: Collection documents the career of R.L. Moore (1882-1974) at the University of Texas (1920-1974), with a small amount of material concerning his doctoral studies at the University of Chicago. The papers reflect Moore's research in point-set topology. There are records of Moore's presidency of the American Mathematical Society (1937-39). The papers also include a collection of G.B. Halsted's articles and translations, together with publications about Halsted. Reprints of Moore's papers, Moore's reprint collection, and theses and dissertations prepared under his supervision are included.
- Correspondents include R.C. Archibald, S. Armentrout, J. and L. Barrett, E.F. Beckenbach, E.T. Bell, R.H. Bing, G.D. and G. Birkhoff, G.A. Bliss, M. Bocher, E.W. Chittenden, L.E. Dickson, E. Dyer, M. Frechet, G.B. Halsted, J.R. Kline, C. Kuratowski, S. Lefschetz, E.H. Moore, R.G.D. Richardson, M.E. Rudin, W. Sierpinski, J.M. Slye, M. Stone, O. Veblen, G.T. Whyburn, and R.L. Wilder. Material includes correspondence, research notebooks, drafts, teaching material, reprints, photographs, and sound recordings.
