Bing, R.H., Papers, 1948-1986.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19293064

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.

Robert Lee Moore (1882-1974), a prominent mathematician, was a professor of mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin for almost fifty years. He is well known for his work in point-set topology, but is most remembered for his work as an educator. During his long career, Moore supervised over fifty doctoral students, including three members of the National Academy of Sciences, three presidents of the American Mathematical Society and four presidents of the Mathematical Associa...
