Doctorate

spent some time in McGill University in Montreal in that year since his supervisor was working there. In 1925 Cox was awarded his doctorate for his thesis Polynomial solutions of difference equations. Williams felt that since Cox was the first person of his race in the world to be awarded a doctorate in mathematics it was necessary for him to have the recognition by a university outside the United States. Universities in England and Germany refused to consider his doctoral thesis but the Imperial University in Sandai, Japan, accepted it. Carey writes. His accomplishment helped to make it possible for other black mathematicians, such as Dudley Welcon Woodard, William Waldron Shiefflin Claytor, Marjorie Lee Browne, Evelyn Boyd Granville and David Blackwell, to receive their doctorates from American universities. The authors illustrate the difficulties that Cox had to endure to obtain his doctorate. In particular they point out that America produced a total of only 28 Ph.D.'s in mathematics in 1925 (one of whom was Cox), while this was the era of the Ku Klux Klan with 31 African-Americans being murdered by lynching in 1926. After receiving his doctorate Cox was appointed as professor of physics at West Virginia State College. This was a College for colored students and was very poorly funded. Cox was only the second faculty member to hold a doctorate and he set about trying to raise the level of the College which did not even possess a science library. On 14 September 1927 Cox…

At the moment I am focusing on finishing my Master of Science in psychology; for this I am studying full time. I anticipate (if all goes well) its completion in one year.

Once my youngest son is in high school I would like to…

Such as SQL, Python, IOS, and Ruby/Rails. The more students are certified in the better they will stand out…

When looking into doctoral programs, I needed them to meet two criteria; they needed to be CACREP accredited, as well as online. In order to ensure that…

within and around our profession. Again, while we do all have memberships with the AOTA, I do not feel that I would have found and learned about these issues myself. In addition to some of my own laziness, I think that a huge factor that kept me from wanting to learn about these issues on my own would be that I did not really know where to start. Now, not only do I know where to start to continue my inquiry in this area, I have a foundation of this knowledge. This foundation includes, not only…
