Scott Williams (born April 22, 1943, in Staten Island, New York) is a professor of mathematics at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.
[2] Raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Williams attended Morgan State University and earned his bachelor degree of Science in mathematics.
[1] Before earning his bachelor's degree he was already able to solve four advanced problems in The Mathematical Monthly and co-authored two papers on Non-Associative Algebra with his undergraduate advisor Dr. Volodymyr Bohun-Chudinov.
In 1975, he was the first topologist to apply the concept of scales (now known as b = d) to give a partial solution of the famous Box Product problem, which is still unsettled today.
