Roy Weintraub received his A.B. degree from Swarthmore College, and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania. He came to Duke in 1970, and has served variously as Director of Graduate Studies, Chairman of the Department, and Acting Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His most recent teaching includes economic science studies and the history of modern economics. Although he began his career as a mathematical economist, his interests currently are in the history of economics as history of science. He recently completed a four-book project on the mathematization of economics in the 20th century. He is immediate past President of the History of Economics Society.
