The Robert A Millikan Medal, established in 1962, recognizes those who have made notable and intellectually creative contributions to the teaching of physics.
The Robert A. Millikan Medal for 2013 is presented to Harvey Gould for his notable and creative contributions to the teaching of physics. Gould has been a pioneer in computational and statistical physics education. Throughout his career, he has worked to develop collaboration and communication among his colleagues while supporting the common good, making unique and important contributions to the community of physicists and physics educators.
He earned his AB and PhD in physics at the University of California, Berkeley and did postdoctoral work at the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST). After four years at the University of Michigan, he began teaching at Clark University, Worcester, MA, in 1971. In the early 1980s, he made important contributions in the development of computer simulations for undergraduate physics...
