Roger Evans Howe (born May 23, 1945) is William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Yale University, and Curtis D. Robert Endowed Chair in Mathematics Education at Texas A&M University. He is well known for his contributions to representation theory, and in particular for the notion of a reductive dual pair, sometimes known as a Howe pair, and the Howe correspondence. His contributions to mathematics education is also well-documented. [1]

Biography[edit]
He attended Ithaca High School, then Harvard University as an undergraduate, winning the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition in 1964. He obtained his Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley in 1969. His thesis, titled On representations of nilpotent groups, was written under the supervision of Calvin Moore. Between 1969 and 1974, Howe taught at the State University of New York in Stony Brook before joining the Yale faculty in 1974. His doctoral students include Ju-Lee Kim, Jian-Shu Li, Zeev Rudnick, Eng-Chye Tan, and Chen-Bo Zhu. He moved to Texas A&M University in 2015.[2]
He has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1993, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 1994.
Howe received a Lester R. Ford Award in 1984.[3] In 2006 he was awarded the American Mathematical Society Distinguished Public Service Award in recognition of his "multifaceted contributions to mathematics and to mathematics education."[4] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5]
