Taking their advice, he obtained a M.A. from Johns Hopkins University and, thereafter, returned to Hamilton as a math instructor. He left College Hill a second time to earn a Ph.D. from Cornell. In 1957, after three years as an assistant professor of mathematics at Union College, he joined IBM, where he worked for the remainder of his career advancing to become a senior engineer.
