Ralph Faudree
Ralph Jasper Faudree (August 23, 1939 – January 13, 2015) was a mathematician, a professor of mathematics and the former provost of the University of Memphis.[1][2]
Faudree was born in
University of Illinois before joining the Memphis State University faculty as an associate professor in 1971.[4] Memphis State became renamed as the University of Memphis in 1994, and Faudree was appointed as provost in 2001.[1][3][4]
Faudree specialized in
Euler Medal for his contributions to combinatorics.[3] His Erdős number was 1: he cowrote 50 joint papers with Paul Erdős beginning in 1976 and was among the three mathematicians who most frequently co-authored with Erdős.[10]
