I am trying to find the birth and death years for Leo Schaeffer. He
was a mathematician at Stanford in the 60's. He may still be alive but
I am not sure. At Stanford he worked with Polya, Uspensky and Spencer.

Hello mbhenry-ga,

Your search for information about mathematicians led me to this
related project. Unfortunately, this database doesn?t show dates of
birth or death but the information might be useful for some of your
searches. Good luck.

The Mathematics Genealogy Project is a service of the Department of
Mathematics, North Dakota State University.

The intent of this project is to compile information about ALL the
mathematicians of the world.

Thanks for the note czh. I've been using this database to track down
former institutions where many of these mathematicians may have
worked. Stay tuned. I'll be posting probably 20 more names later
tonight.
