Projects

Alumni Project 1 - UC Berkeley

In 2003, TH donated approximately 1000 volumes of rare printed books and manuscripts to the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. This collection documents the history of arithmetic and mathematics in the United States from the colonial period to the end of the 19th century, and more than half of the texts predate 1850.

It is called the "Theodore P. Hill Collection of Early American Mathematics Books", and was featured in the 2005 Bancroft Library's Exhibit "Creators, Teachers and Practitioners of the Mathematical Sciences". Click on the following links for more information about this project.

College Activism

For the past ten years, TH has been involved in campus activism, especially activities related to Freedom of Information and Freedom of Speech in academics. He has written a handful of articles, one of which was recently published in the American Association of University Professors publication Academe, was the subject of two Atlanta 6 o’clock news Whistleblower Reports, and established two websites dedicated to improving those two basic Freedoms on campus, namely www.collegeactivists.org, and www.motherfunctor.org.
