David Blackwell

David Harold Blackwell (April 24, 1919 – July 8, 2010) was an American statistician and mathematician who made significant contributions to game theory, probability theory, information theory, and statistics.[1] He is one of the eponyms of the Rao–Blackwell theorem.[4] He was the first African American inducted into the National Academy of Sciences, the first African American full professor (with tenure) at the University of California, Berkeley,[3][5][6] and the seventh African American to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics.[7] In 2012, President Barack Obama posthumously awarded Blackwell the National Medal of Science.
