author
b. 1878
An early-20th-century American mathematician and educator, remembered for writing on the history of mathematics as well as technical subjects. His work has a scholarly flavor but stays closely tied to teaching and explanation.
Oliver Edmunds Glenn, born in 1878, was an American mathematician whose published work included both advanced mathematics and writing on the subject’s history. Reliable catalog and reference records identify him as an author, but detailed biographical information appears to be quite limited online.
He is especially associated with mathematical scholarship and teaching rather than literary authorship in the usual sense. Based on the sources available, the clearest confirmed picture is of a scholar who contributed books and articles intended to explain mathematical ideas and their development.
Because easily verifiable biographical details are scarce, it is best to keep his profile concise. The available evidence supports describing him as a mathematically trained author and educator active in the early 1900s.
