Key Information
He was a co-founder of the Duke Mathematical Journal and the author of the textbook Advanced Calculus (Prentice-Hall, 1947).[1] He wrote also The Laplace transform[2] (in which he gave a first solution to Landau's problem on the Dirichlet eta function),[3] An introduction to transform theory,[4] and The convolution transform (co-author with I. I. Hirschman).
