Edward Curtis Baldwin ( born March 13, 1933, Newburyport, Massachusetts) is an American mathematician.

Life and work

Edward Curtis studied at Harvard University and earned his bachelor's degree there in 1954. After a stay at the University of Oxford from 1958 to 1959 he was again in 1962 at Harvard for Ph.D. doctorate. His The Lower Central Series for Free Group Complexes titled thesis was supervised by Raoul Bott. Curtis then moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was Instructor (1962-1964), Assistant Professor (1964-1967) and Associate Professor (1967-1970? ). Since 1970 he was at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is now professor emeritus.

His research interests are graph theory and networks. In 1967 he was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship and the 1972 Leroy P. Steele Prize for his work simplicial homotopy theory for his studies on algebraic topology.
