David Archibald Cox (born September 23, 1948 in Washington, D.C.)〔''American Men and Women of Science'', Thomson Gale 2004〕 is an American mathematician, working in algebraic geometry. Cox graduated from Rice University with a bachelor's degree in 1970 and his Ph.D. in 1975 at Princeton University, under the supervision of Eric Friedlander (''Tubular Neighborhoods in the Etale Topology'').〔(Mathematics Genealogy Project )〕 From 1974 to 1975, he was assistant professor at Haverford College and at Rutgers University from 1975 to 1979. In 1979, he became assistant professor and in 1988 professor at Amherst College. He studies, among other things, étale homotopy theory, elliptic surfaces, computer-based algebraic geometry (such as Gröbner basis), Torelli sets and toric varieties, and history of mathematics. He is also known for several textbooks. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.〔(List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society ), retrieved 2013-12-02.〕 From 1987 to 1988 he was a guest professor at Oklahoma State University. In 2012, he received the Lester Randolph Ford Award for ''Why Eisenstein Proved the Eisenstein Criterion and Why Schönemann Discovered It First''. == Writings == * With John Little, Donal O´Shea ''Ideals, varieties, and algorithms: an introduction to computational algebraic geometry and commutative algebra'', 3rd. edition, Springer Verlag 2007 * ''Using algebraic geometry'', 2nd. edition, Springer Verlag 2005 * With Sheldon Katz: ''Mirror Symmetry and Algebraic Geometry'', American Mathematical Society 1999 * ''Galois Theory'', Wiley/Interscience 2004 * With Bernd Sturmfels, Dinesh Manocha (eds.)
