Head and shoulders image of Doug MacLean, associate professor, Department of Mathematics & Statistics.
Bio/Historical Note: Doug MacLean was born 20 January 1943 in Regina, Saskatchewan and received his elementary schooling at Prince Albert and Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan. He earned a high school diploma from New Westminster Secondary School in 1960. He attended the University of British Columbia, earning a BA (first class honours) in Mathematics in 1965, and a PhD in Mathematics in 1969. MacLean served as assistant professor, Department of Mathematics, University of Saskatchewan from 1969-1974, and associate professor from 1974-2007. MacLean retired from the U of S on 27 January 2007.
Members of the Shuttleworth Mathematical Society, front row (l to r); Dr. Burnett, William Hayward McEwen, Dr. McEwen; George H. Ling, dean, Arts and Science; and H. Sharp.
Bio/Historical Note: The Shuttleworth Mathematical Society was designed to give students interested in mathematics an opportunity to meet in an informal setting, and was open to all students who had completed one math class and were registered in a second. The Society was originally formed in November 1916 as the University Mathematical Society. It was renamed in honour of Roy Eugene Shuttleworth, a brilliant honours student who had been the first president of the organization. Shuttleworth was born in 1896 in Leavenworth, Washington. He was a student at the University of Saskatchewan. He served as a private with the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (Eastern Ontario Regiment). Shuttleworth died in combat during World War I on 26 August 1918 at Vimy Ridge, France. His name is inscribed on the Vimy Memorial. The society has been inactive for many years.
This fonds consists primarily of lecture notes of classes in mathematics presented at the University of Toronto and Göttingen University in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The notes are from classes taught by J. Chapelon, U. Wegner, C. Krieger, R. Courant, I.R. Pounder, H. Weyl, W. Weber, Landau, and Prandtl and cover a variety of subjects, including differential geometry, function theory, complex variables, and trigonometry. The fonds also includes notes and materials related to the Faculty Club including obituaries for a number of University of Saskatchewan faculty. There are also calendars from the University of New Brunswick.
