Biographical / Historical
Albert Allen Bartlett (1923-2013) received a degree in Physics at Colgate University in 1944 and an A.M. and Ph.D. in Physics at Harvard University in 1951. In September of 1950, he began his career as a Professor of Nuclear Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder and served as an elected chair of the faculty council in 1969 and 1970. His research and interest included population growth and he ultimately promoted sustainable living. Since his lecture in September of 1969 on Arithmetic, Population, and Energy, Bartlett had continued to lecture on this topic over 1,742 times until his last in July 2001. His research has influenced his students and other researchers, leading him to receive the Robert A. Millikan award, which exemplifies outstanding contributions in the teachings of physics.
