Professor Earl David Rainville (1907 – 1966) taught in the Department of Engineering Mathematics at the University of Michigan, where he began as an assistant professor in 1941. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor ( U of M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a top-ranked Coeducational public research [1] He studied at the University of Colorado,[2] receiving his B. A. there in 1930 before going on to graduate studies at Michigan, where he received his Ph. D. in 1939 under the supervision of Ruel Churchill. [3] He died on April 29, 1966. [4]
He was the author of several textbooks.
