Regula Herzog
Regula Herzog, a U-M psychology professor and researcher who was awarded the U-M Distinguished Research Scientist Award this year, died June 27, 2002 in Ann Arbor. He was 90.
Jones earned bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from U-M. He taught math at the high school and college levels.
After joining the U-M faculty as an instructor in 1947, he was named professor in 1958. He retired from the faculty in 1982.
Throughout his career, Jones worked closely with the U-M School of Education to further the cause of mathematics education. He was known internationally as an authority on the history of mathematics and math education.
“Phil was a member of our department at a time when we prided ourselves on abstract research. He excelled in an area that really didn’t fit into that mold,” said George E. Hay, professor emeritus of mathematics. “He loved to travel the country and speak to educators about mathematics and teaching.”
Beginning in 1951, Jones organized an annual Mathematics Education Conference held at U-M. Mathematics teachers and school administrators from across the state and country attended the conference, and it developed into the largest and most influential conference on mathematics education in the state. The conference was held annually in conjunction with the School of Education for almost 50 years.
Jones served as president and vice president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and was a founder of the Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics. He was a member of the board of governors of the Mathematical Association of America and a member of the U.S. Commission on Mathematics Instruction appointed by the National Academy of Science.
He also was a speaker at the International Congress of Mathematics Education in 1972, and a presenter at the 1975 International Congress of Mathematical Sciences in Pakistan. He received an honorary doctorate from Northern Michigan University in 1972.
One of Jones’ major publications was the 1959 NCTM Yearbook, “The Growth of Mathematical Ideas, K-12.” His view of curriculum expressed in the book has been accepted broadly in elementary and middle schools and has influenced secondary school curricula.
“Phil Jones was willing to tackle new initiatives aimed at improving mathematics education. He was respected and admired by his contemporaries and he leaves a legacy of colleagues and students who carry on his passion for teaching,” said James M. Rubillo, executive director of NCTM.
Jones is survived by his children, Anne, Phillip Jr., Kristin and Roger; eight grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
