Tom Osler
Thomas Joseph Osler is an American mathematician, former national champion distance runner, and author of three seminal running books[1][2][3] and two mathematics textbooks[4][5], as well as 155 publications in mathematical journals. From 1970-1976 Osler published 16 seminal papers codifying the theory of fractional calculus,[6][7][8] which has since grown to a significant field of study, with dedicated journals and international conferences.[9]
In 1999, Osler discovered that Viète's formula and the Wallis product are two special cases of a generalized infinite product formula.[10]
Osler has won three national Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) championships at 25km (1965), 30km and 50mi (1967). He is the winner of the 1965 Philadelphia Marathon and in the course of his career has won races of nearly every length from one mile to 100 miles.
Osler's running career began in 1954 and ended with his last race in 2017. In his lifetime he ran a total of 2705 races. He documented every single one of these races in a detailed race log spanning the 63 years of his racing career.
Osler is a full professor of mathematics at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, where he has been teaching full-time since 1972.
