Homer E. Newell, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | Homer E. Newell, Jr. Homer Edward Newell, Jr. (1915-1983) was a mathematics professor and author who became a powerful United States government science administrator—eventually rising to the number three position at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In the early 1960s, he either controlled or influenced virtually all non-military unmanned space missions for the free world. ==Early life and education== Newell was born March 11, 1915 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. He was educated in the public schools, graduating at the top of his class from Holyoke High in 1932.〔Newell, Homer E., Jr. ''Beyond the Atmosphere: Early Years of Space Science'' (NASA SP-4211), NASA, Washington, DC, 1980〕 In a 1980 interview, he recalled that his interest in science arose from his grandfather Arthur J. Newell, who had an extensive private library where Newell found books on astronomy and chemistry. Arthur also provided the money for his grandson's university education at Harvard University, where he graduated with a 1936 Bachelor of Arts in Math, and a 1937 Master of Arts in Teaching. He applied for a scholarship to pursue a Doctorate in Math, but Harvard did not award it. Instead, he completed his education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, which awarded him a Math Ph.D. in 1940〔Hirsh, Richard F., 1980. ''Dr. Homer E. Newell: Transcript of an Interview taken on Tape Recorder''. American Institute of Physics, Center for Institute of Physics, NY〕 with Rudolf Langer as thesis advisor.
