Education and career

edit

Bogart was originally from Cincinnati, and was a 1965 graduate of Marietta College.[1] He earned his Ph.D. in 1968 at the California Institute of Technology. His dissertation, Structure Theorems for Local Noether Lattices, was supervised by Robert P. Dilworth.[4]

He joined the faculty of the Dartmouth College mathematics department in 1968, was promoted to full professor in 1980, and was chair of the department from 1989 to 1995.[1] While at Dartmouth, he supervised 17 doctoral students,[4] and was also active in the mentorship of freshman women in research projects in mathematics, including Tara S. Holm, later to become a professional mathematician.[1]

Textbook

edit

Bogart was the author of the textbook Introductory Combinatorics (Pitman, 1983; 3rd ed., Academic Press, 2000).[3]
