Abstract

Paul Samuelson was a scientist, MIT professor, and the pre-eminent economist of the twentieth century. An undergraduate at the University of Chicago from 1932 to 1935 and a graduate student at Harvard from 1935 to 1940, Samuelson described economic science during the 1930s as interesting, easy and (well suited to his talents) poised to become mathematical. His Harvard dissertation, published in 1947 as Foundations of Economic Analysis, revolutionized economic analysis. He described his career as bringing mathematics to every slice of the economics pie.
