Anthony "Tony" Joseph Penico (June 11, 1923, Philadelphia – November 19, 2011, Missouri) was an American mathematician and engineer.
[2][3] After graduating from South Philadelphia High School, Penico was awarded scholarships to the University of Pennsylvania.
[4] His dissertation, written under the supervision of Richard D. Schafer, is entitled The Wedderburn Principal Theorem for Jordan Algebras.
[6] In October 1969 he contributed a paper Functional-analysis identities for biadditive mappings on modules with non-associative scalars to the 668th meeting of the American Mathematical Society.
In the mid-1950s the family moved to Northern California, where he worked as a Senior Engineering Specialist at the GTE's Research Laboratories.
