Comment

I have had the privilege of being a student of several Nobel prize winners - Isidor Isaac Rabi and James Rainwater (physics) at Columbia. At Brown I was taught by Ulf Grenander and Philip Davis. I have also had the privilege of working with Horace F. Martin of Brown's Medical School on many research projects. My mathematical family tree includes Gauss, Bessel, Weierstrass, and Cramer.
