Fabian Franklin (1853–1939) was a Hungarian-born American engineer, mathematician and journalist, husband of Christine Ladd-Franklin.
Life and work
The Franklin family (his parents were born in Poland) migrated from Hungary to Philadelphia (United States) when Fabian Franklin was four years old and they afterwards moved to Washington, D.C. in 1861. He was educated at Columbian College (now George Washington University) where he graduated Ph.B. in 1869. Franklin worked the following seven years as surveyor and engineer for the Baltimore City Council.[1]
When Johns Hopkins University was founded in 1876, he had the opportunity to study mathematics, his true passion. He was awarded a doctorate in 1880[2] and he was the assistant of James Joseph Sylvester till his return to England in 1883, applying the new calculational techniques to compute binary forms.Шаблон:Sfn In 1882 he married Christine Ladd-Franklin; the marriage was a marriage of equals, based on their shared concerns, both social and intellectual.Шаблон:Sfn They both studied with Charles Sanders Peirce.[3] During his short university period, some fifteen years, he published thirty papers, most of which appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics.Шаблон:Sfn
In 1895 he left the university to begin a new career as journalist and writer.[1] First as editor of Baltimore News (from 1895 to 1908) and afterward as associate editor of New York Evening Post (from 1909 to 1919). He wrote some remarkable books on social, economic and political issues like Cost of living (1915),Шаблон:Sfn What Prohibition Has Done to America (1922) and Plain Talks on Economics: Leading Principles and Their Application to the Issues of Today (1924) among others. He collaborated in the launching of The Weekly Review (1919–1922), a journal devoted to the Consideration of Politics, of Social and Economic Tendencies, of History, Literature, and the Arts. He also wrote a biography of the founding president of Johns Hopkins University, The Life of Daniel Coit Gilman (1910).
