Harvey M. Friedman of Chicago
will soon begin work as an as-
sistant professor of logic at Stan-
ford University.
Dr. Friedman began taking in-
structions in mathematics from
his father at the age of 7, easily
completed elementary school and
high school and entered MIT at
the age of 15, and, after receiving
a bachelor's and master's degree,
obtained his PhD.
MIT said he was the youngest
student ever to receive a doctorate
from the school.
In Stanford, in Palo Alto, Cal.,
Dr. Friedman will teach two
graduate course s, one in a
branch of logic known as recur-
sion theory and the other in the
foundations of mathematics. His
salary will be about $10,000 a
year.
Dr. Friedman said that the fact
that he will be many years younger
than his students "won't make any
difference to me. I don't care .. .
And they (his students) probably
won't either."
Born in Chicago in 1948, Dr.
Friedman claims he had a "com-
pletely normal childhood" despite
his flair for mathematics. In the
eighth grade he passed all high
school mathematics courses after
having taken instruction from his
father.
At age 11, he began taking col-

lege courses, attending the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma and North-
western University before entering
MIT.
Dr. Friedman said of American
education, "Everyone has more
creative ability than they are al-
lowed to express. The pressures
of American society are too great
to allow for creativity unless you
get luck. I was lucky."
