Stanley Farlow

Farlow earned a bachelor's degree in physics at Iowa State University and a master's degree in mathematics at the University of Iowa.^[1] From 1962 to 1968 he was a lieutenant commander in the PHS, completing his Ph.D. in mathematics at Oregon State University in 1967. His doctoral supervisor was Ronald Bernard Guenther, and his doctoral dissertation was on Existence Theorems for Periodic Solutions of Parabolic Partial Differential Equations.^[2]

He is currently a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of Maine.^[1]

Farlow is the author of several books in mathematics, including

• Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers (Wiley, 1982; Russian translation, Moscow: Mir, 1985; Dover, 1993)^[3]
• Applied Mathematics for Management, Life Science, and Social Science (with Gary M. Haggard, Random House, 1988)
