Lloyd A. Knowler Scholarship: Professor Lloyd A. Knowler came to the University of Iowa as an undergraduate student in the late 1920's. He completed his Ph.D. in Mathematics here in 1937, and was appointed to a faculty position in the Mathematics Department (Actuarial Science was taught in the Math Department until 1965). He retired in 1978, but remained active in our Department until his death in 1990 at the age of 82.
