This is an index to the individuals (and other things) who have a connection with both USMA and mathematics. These files are research notes for a comprehensive history of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at West Point. I encourage people to browse these files and to assist by providing additional information. Here are a few files that I consider interesting. This list will change from time to time.
Some Papers About the Department of Mathematical Sciences:
Mathematics at West Point in the Early Twentieth Century (a very preliminary report)
Some readers of this page, be they cadets or faculty, may be interested in getting involved in a research project on the history of mathematics, so I have listed some suggestions. Do talk to me if you are interested in any of these topics or have another of your own to suggest.
Information about the organization of these web pages and how the files are named and organized is kept in a READ-ME file.
