About the Author
Jim Dugundji received his B.A. degree from New York University in 1940 and, for the next two years, studied at the University of North Carolina. After serving in the USAir Force from 1942 to 1946 he enrolled at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1948 under Witold Hurewicz. Since 1948, Jim Dugundji taught at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where he became a full professor in 1958. For many years he served as one of the editors of the Pacific Journal of Mathematics and of Topology and its Applications.While Dugundji’s mathematical work lay mainly in the field of topology, he also contributed to dynamical systems and functional analysis, and to problems in applied mathematics (electrical engineering, geology, and theoretical chemistry). Among his books are Topology (Allyn and Bacon, 1965) and Perspectives in Theoretical Stereochemistry(Springer, 1984), the latter written with I. Ugi, R. Kopp and D. Marquarding.
