Robert Scott Rumely (born 1952) is a professor of mathematics at the University of Georgia who specializes in number theory and arithmetic geometry.[1] He is one of the inventors of the Adleman–Pomerance–Rumely primality test.[2]

Life

Rumely was born on June 23, 1952, in Pullman, Washington. He graduated from Grinnell College in 1974,[3] and completed his Ph.D. in 1978 at Princeton University under the supervision of Goro Shimura.[4] After temporary positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, he joined the University of Georgia faculty in 1981.[3]

Rumely has taught a summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates program on the mathematics of paper folding.[5]

Books

He is the author or co-author of four books:

Awards

In 2015 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to arithmetic potential theory, computational number theory, and arithmetic dynamics".[11]
