Stanley Jerry Farlow (born 1937) is an American mathematician specializing in differential equations and control theory. For many years he has been a professor at the University of Maine.
Life[]
Farlow earned bachelor's and master's degrees in physics and mathematics at Iowa State University and the University of Iowa respectively.[1] From 1962-1968 he was a Lieutenant Commander in the Public Health Service in the Division of Computer Research and Technology at the National Institutes of Health. He completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at Oregon State University during that time in 1967. His doctoral supervisor was , and his doctoral dissertation was on Existence Theorems for Periodic Solutions of Parabolic Partial Differential Equations.[2]
Although he has written articles for the Copley News Service and Creators Syndicate, he is currently a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Maine[1] as well as an Associate Editor at the European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
