About the Author:
Henry Burchard Fine was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania on September 14, 1858. His faculty adviser was Felix Klein, famous for the Kline Bottle. At Princeton, he was assistant professor (1885-1890), then became professor in 1890, and he also was dean of the faculty from 1903–1912 and dean of the department of science after 1909. He was president of the American Mathematical Society in 1911-12. He wrote: Euclid's Elements (1891) The Number System of Algebra (1891; second edition, 1903). A College Algebra (1904) Coördinate Geometry, with Henry Dallas Thompson (1909) Calculus (1927) His College Algebra was not found easy by beginning students who, when first confronted with it, according to a Princetonian of that era, “decided that no one could understand it but Professor Fine and God.'' When the students of the following year were treated to a revised edition “they agreed that comprehension was probably now limited to Professor Fine alone.'” Fine Hall, the building housing the Mathematics Department at Princeton, was named after him after his death in recognition of his key role in developing the mathematics faculty. Henry Burchard Fine died at age 70 on December 22, 1928, when he was struck by a car while riding his bicycle on Nassau Street in Princeton, New Jersey.
