ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John D. Anderson, Jr., was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on October 1, 1937.
He attended the University of Florida, graduating in 1959 with high honors and
a bachelor of aeronautical engineering degree. From 1959 to 1962, he was a
lieutenant and task scientist at the Aerospace Research Laboratory at Wright
Patterson Air Force Base. From 1962 to 1966, he attended the Ohio State
University under the National Science Foundation and NASA Fellowships,
graduating with a Ph.D. in aeronautical and astronautical engineering. In 1966,
he joined the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory as Chief of the Hypersonic Group.
In 1973, he became Chairman of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at
the University of Maryland, and since 1980 has been professor of Aerospace
Engineering at Maryland. In 1982, he was designated a Distinguished
Scholar/Teacher by the University. During 1986-1987, while on sabbatical from
the University, Dr. Anderson occupied the Charles Lindbergh chair at the
National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution.
Dr. Anderson has published five books: Gasdynamic Lasers: An Introduction,
Academic Press (1976), and under McGraw-Hill: Introduction to Flight (1978,
1985, and 1989), Modern Compressible Flow (1982 and 1990), Fundamentals of
Aerodynamics (1984 and 1990), and Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas
Dynamics (1989). He is the author of over 90 papers on radiative gas dynamics,
reentry aerothermodynamics, gas dynamic and chemical lasers, computational
fluid dynamics, applied aerodynamics, and hypersonic flow. Dr. Anderson is in
lVho's lVho in America, and is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics. He is also a fellow of the Washington Academy of Sciences,
and a member of Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Eta Sigma, the
American Society for Engineering Education, and the American Physical Society.
In 1989, he was awarded the John Leland Atwood Medal for excellence in
Aerospace Engineering Education, given jointly by the American Institute of
Aeronautics and Astronautics and the American Society for Engineering Edu
cation.
