Patrick Paul Billingsley (May 3, 1925 – April 22, 2011[1] [2] ) was an American mathematician and stage and screen actor, noted for his books in advanced probability theory and statistics . He was born and raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota , and graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946.
Academic career
[ edit ]
After earning a Ph.D. in mathematics at Princeton University in 1955, he was attached to the NSA until his discharge from the Navy in 1957. In 1958 he became a professor of mathematics and statistics at the University of Chicago , where he served as chair of the Department of Statistics from 1980 to 1983, and retired in 1994. In 1964–65 he was a Fulbright Fellow and visiting professor at the University of Copenhagen . In 1971–72 he was a Guggenheim Fellow and visiting professor at the University of Cambridge (Peterhouse ). From 1976 to 1979 he edited the Annals of Probability . In 1983 he was president of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics . He was given the Lester R. Ford Award for his article "Prime Numbers and Brownian Motion ."[3] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1986.[4]
He starred in a number of plays at Court Theatre and Body Politic Theatre in Chicago and appeared in at least nine films.[citation needed ]
In Young Men and Fire , fellow University of Chicago professor Norman Maclean wrote about Billingsley that "he is a distinguished statistician and one of the best amateur actors I have ever seen".[citation needed ]
