David Blackwell: Groundbreaking Statistician and Mathematician Dies

By:Renowned statistician and mathematician David Blackwell has passed away. Blackwell was the first African-American admitted to the National Academy of Sciences and the first black tenured professor at University of California, Berkeley. He is most famous for his work in probability and game theory. Blackwell attended the University of Illinois and received a Rosenwald fellowships, where he studied at Princeton. He was denied the opportunity to teach, which was customary for fellows at Princeton, because he was black, and the opportunity to teach at UC Berkeley for the same reason. After brief stints at Southern University and Clark College in Atlanta, he went on to teach at Howard University. While a professor at Howard University, Blackwell co-authored Theory of Games and Statistical Decisions (1954) with famed statistician Meyer A. Girshick. He served as a consultant for the RAND Corporation, applying game theory to military situations. His Basic Statistics (1969) was one of the first textbooks on Bayesian statistics, which assess the uncertainty of future outcomes by incorporating new evidence as it arises, rather than relying on historical data. He later became a professor at UC Berkeley, chairing the department and becoming the first black tenured professor at the university. He was 91.Read more at The New York Times.
