Edwin Bidwell Wilson (April 25, 1879 – December 28, 1964) was an American mathematician and polymath. He was the sole protégé of Yale's physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs and was mentor to MIT economist Paul Samuelson.〔(How I Became an Economist ) by Paul A. Samuelson, 1970 Laureate in Economics, 5 September 2003〕 He received his AB from Harvard College in 1899 and his PhD from Yale University in 1901, working under Gibbs. E.B. Wilson compiled the textbook ''Vector Analysis'', based on Gibbs' lectures, as Gibbs was at the time busy preparing his book on thermodynamics. 〔E.B. Wilson (1902) (Vector Analysis: ) A Text-book for the Use of Students of Mathematics and Physics, based upon the lectures of Willard Gibbs〕 In 1904 Wilson reviewed Bertrand Russell's text on foundations of mathematics called ''The Principles of Mathematics''.〔Edwin B. Wilson (1904) "The Foundations of Mathematics", Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society 11(2):74–93〕 Wilson wrote "The Space-Time Manifold of Relativity"〔Edwin B. Wilson & Gilbert N. Lewis (1912) "The Space-time Manifold of Relativity. The Non-Euclidean Geometry of Mechanics and Electromagnetics" Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 48:387–507〕 with Gilbert N. Lewis in 1912. Wilson went on to write two more textbooks: ''Advanced Calculus'' (1912)〔E.B. Wilson (1912) (Advanced Calculus ) on Google Books〕 and ''Aeronautics: A Class Text'' (1920).〔E.B.
