Roger Maddux

Roger Maddux (born 1948) is an American mathematician specializing in algebraic logic.

He completed his B.A. at Pomona College in 1969, and his Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of California in 1978, where he was one of Alfred Tarski's last students. His career has been at Iowa State University, where he fills a joint appointment in computer science and mathematics.

Maddux is primarily known for his work in relation algebras and cylindric algebras, and as the inventor of relational bases.cite web | url = http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~imh/frames_website/bases.html | title = Relational bases, relation algebra - cylindric algebra connections | accessdate = 2007-03-03 | last = Hodkinson | first = Ian] cite journal | last = Maddux | first = Roger | title = A sequent calculus for relation algebras | journal = Annals of Pure and Applied Logic | volume = 25 | year = 1983 | pages = 73–101 | doi = 10.1016/0168-0072(83)90055-6]

His Erdős number is 2.
