R.H. Bing (1914-1986) was a geometric topologist at the University of Wisconsin (1947-1972) and the University of Texas at Austin (1973-1986).

R.H. Bing (1914-1986) graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College, San Marcos, in 1935 and, after several years as a high school mathematics teacher, commenced graduate study at the University of Texas at Austin under R.L. Moore, receiving his doctorate in 1945.

In 1947 he moved to the University of Wisconisin, Madison, where he remained until returning to the University of Texas in 1973. Bing was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1965 (council member, 1970-1980), and was a member of the National Science Board (1968-1974) and the National Research Council governing board (1977-1980). In 1974 he received the Mathematical Association of America Award for Distinguished Service to Mathematics. Bing's research concentrated on the geometric topology of 3-manifolds, particularly their pathology. His side approximation theorem for 2-spheres in Euclidean 3-space and his "Bing shrinking" procedure have been generalized to higher dimensional manifolds. Bing summarized the field in his work "The Geometric Topology of 3-Manifolds" (1983). (1977-1980).

Bing, R. H. Bing, R.H., Papers, 1948-1986. 4 ft. Papers document the career of R.H. Bing, largely at the University of Texas at Austin (1973-1986). Records of Bing's research chiefly relate to the preparation of his The geometric topology of 3-manifolds (1983). There are records of Bing's memorial work concerning his teacher R.L. Moore and of his role in the founding of the Archives of American Mathematics. Bing's membership in the National Academy of Sciences is represented, as is his work with several topology conferences. The correspondence is chiefly from the last few years of Bing's life. Included are research and lecture notes, drafts of publications, teaching material, memoranda, reports, newspaper clippings, preprints, and reprints.
