Case Institute of Technology as an undergraduate, earning a B.S. in 1954. Next he earned his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1959, and immediately joined the UIUC faculty,[2] where he stayed until his retirement in 1997.[1] His thesis, On Imbeddings and Holonomy, was supervised by Isadore Singer.[3] At UIUC, his doctoral students included future UIUC colleague Stephanie B. Alexander.[3] He is the author of Geometry of Manifolds (with Richard J. Crittenden, AMS Chelsea Publishing, 1964,[4] translated into Russian 1967[5] and reprinted 2001[6]) and Tensor Analysis on Manifolds (with Samuel I. Goldberg, Macmillan, 1968,[7] reprinted by Dover Books on Mathematics, 1980[8]
).
In 2013, Bishop became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
