Justin Jesse Price is an American mathematician, known for several textbooks and contributions to his field.
His Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania
was I. Some Duality Theorems II. On the Characters of Certain Compact Abelian Groups advised by Nathan Fine
(1956).
After that he continued on a research project for the Air Force
(1956-58) and joined the faculty at Cornell University
as associate professor (1958-63) and since being professor
at Purdue University
(1963-04). His research was in real analysis
and orthogonal expansions. He had sabbaticals and stays at
Paris
, University College London
, University of California, Berkeley
and Harvard University
. His books were written with Purdue colleague Harley Flanders
