Biographical history
Carman Edgar Miller was born on October 11, 1907 in Milliken, Ontario. After graduating from high school in Markham, he enrolled at the University of Toronto and went on to earn three degrees: BA (1930), MA (1931), and PhD (1940). The Gertrude Davis Exchange Scholarship allowed Miller to study three semesters at Göttingen University in Germany in 1931-1932. He also spent 1934-1935 attending the Ontario College of Education. Dr. Miller taught at a number Toronto area high schools before accepting a post at the University of New Brunswick in 1941. He became Head of the Department prior coming to the University of Saskatchewan in 1946 as a Professor of Mathematics. He served as Head of the Department from 1964 until 1970. Professor Miller retired in 1973 and was named Professor Emeritus. Dr. Miller was active in the Saskatoon community as a supporter of the musical arts and also had a keen interest Slavic languages and literature. Miller was honorary president of the Saskatchewan Mathematics Teachers Society and was secretary-treasurer (1958-1960) and president (1962-1963) of the Faculty Club. He was also president of the Saskatoon branch of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs (CIIA) and the Humanities Association of Canada. He died in Saskatoon on June 6, 1988 at the age of 80.
Custodial history
Accession 1992-007 was originally donated by Miller to the Department of Mathematics at the University of Saskatchewan in 1982 to be used in their reading room. The Department of Mathematics then donated the material to the University Archives & Special Collections in May 1992.
Scope and content
This fonds consists primarily of lecture notes of classes in mathematics presented at the University of Toronto and Göttingen University in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The notes are from classes taught by J. Chapelon, U. Wegner, C. Krieger, R. Courant, I.R. Pounder, H. Weyl, W. Weber, Landau, and Prandtl and cover a variety of subjects, including differential geometry, function theory, complex variables, and trigonometry. The fonds also includes notes and materials related to the Faculty Club including obituaries for a number of University of Saskatchewan faculty. There are also calendars from the University of New Brunswick.
