Memories of John W. Tukey John W. Tukey (1915-2000) John W. Tukey made unparalleled contributions to statistics and to science in general, during a long career at Bell Labs and Princeton University, and as consultant to government and industry. John Tukey died on July 26, 2000 but his influence and contributions will continue. He had more ideas, and greater originality, than seemed possible for a single mind, and he gave those ideas with unique generosity to the people he worked with. In addition, he was equally unique as a personalityan encounter with John Tukey was very likely to be memorable. So many people and so many ideas have been shaped by him, that his complete role is hard to summarize. This web site is dedicated to gathering recollections and reflections on John Tukey from those who knew him and from those who would like to comment on his life or work. We invite you to browse in the site and to contribute to it. Not only technical items, but also personal reminiscences nearly all who knew him have some "John Tukey stories"! Our hope is to gather these here, to share our memories and affection for this very special person.

John Wilder Tukey "An appropriate answer to the right problem is worth a good deal more than an exact answer to an approximate problem." John Tukey As a chemist-turned-topologist-turned statistician, John Wilder Tukey played a key role in the development and study of statistics in the mid 1900's. The field of statistics has benefited tremendously from his contributions. J. W. Tukey was born on July 16, 1915, in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was the only child of Ralph H. and Adah M. (Tasker) Tukey. His parents recognized the great potential in their son at a very early age and decided to school him at home. Home schooling was convenient for Tukey since both of his parents were teachers. Tukey's formal education did not begin until he entered Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, to study mathematics and chemistry. Tukey complete his studies at Brown University when he graduated with a Master's degree in chemistry. He then went on to study for a doctorate in mathematics at Princeton University in 1937. Tukey received his doctorate in 1939 for the dissertation Denumerability in topology . This impressive thesis was then published in 1940 as Convergence and Uniformity in topology . It was the second book in the Annals of Mathematics Studies of the Princeton University Press. However, this was not Tukey's first publication. Even prior to obtaining his doctorate, he wrote three papers that had been published.

Math Makes Points: John Tukey John W. Tukey John Tukey is a pioneer in exploratory data analysis. Whenever we take samples of a product or of public opinion, we amass a collection of data points. If there are only two numbers that describe each observation, like the height and weight of students in a class, then that information can be plotted on a graph and we can see if the points "cluster" to reveal some relationship between the two quantities. But in the census data for a large city there may be many different numbers that describe each observation, three or four or more. John Tukey and his colleagues studied the "point clouds" that arise in such situations and manipulated them on a computer screen until patterns emerged that indicated relationships among different variables. To this day, one of the most significant uses of scientific visualization is in the analysis of such patterns in statistical data. Software for rotating point clouds has been developed by Data Description Inc. Here is a site that covers many aspects of Exploratory Data Analysis , and another from the Engineering Statistics Handbook For more information about John Tukey and his work, see

Chapters Committees Sections Home John Wilder Tukey Karen Kafadar Shortly after my arrival at Princeton University as a graduate student in the fall of 1975, the chairman told me to see John Tukey "because he has some project for you to work on." Summoning all my courage, I approached him, introduced myself, and reported the directive I'd received. Tukey broke out into a huge grin and replied, "Wait here." He disappeared across the hall into his office and reappeared momentarily. "Read this and then I think you will agree that we have a lot of computing to do."

JOHN TUKEY John Wilder Tukey was born on 16 June 1915 in Massachusetts, U.S.A. He attended Brown University until 1937 and then obtained a PhD in mathematics at Princeton University. During World War II he worked on statistical problems associated with weapons development (such as the accuracy of range finders on bombers). After the was he researched at Princeton and with Bell Labs, concentrating on the study of complex data. He is largely responsible for the development of Exploratory Data Analysis, although his contributions are found in many areas of statistics. Examples of his collected papers include: The Collected Works of John W. Tukey : Multiple Comparisons 1948-1983 by John W. Tukey, Henry I. Braun (Editor).

Tukey dies PRINCETON, N.J. John Wilder Tukey, an emeritus Princeton professor considered to be one of the most important contributors to modern statistics, died Wednesday. He was 85. Tukey developed many important tools of modern statistics and introduced concepts that were central to the creation of today's telecommunications technologies. In addition to his formidable research achievements, Tukey was known for his penchant for coining terms that reflected new ideas and techniques in the sciences and is credited with introducing the computer science terms "bit" (short for binary digit) and "software." "He probably made more original contributions to statistics than anyone else since World War II," said Frederick Mosteller, retired professor of mathematical statistics at Harvard University. "I believe that the whole country scientifically, industrially, financially is better off because of him and bears evidence of his influence," said retired Princeton Professor John A. Wheeler, who is a major figure in the history of physics and the development of the atomic bomb.
