Contact Richard Lowry
Richard Lowry came to Vassar in 1965 after receiving his Ph.D. from Brandeis University in the same year. He was appointed to a three-year term on the William R. Kenan Chair in 1987, and currently holds the Jacob P. Giraud Chair of Natural History. He is the author or editor of publications in a range of areas, including The Architecture of Chance: An Introduction to the Logic and Arithmetic of Probability (New York: Oxford University Press, 1989); The Evolution of Psychological Theory: A Critical History of Concepts and Presuppositions (New York: Aldine/de Gruyter, 1982); A.H. Maslow: An Intellectual Portrait (Monterey, CA: Brooks/Cole, 1973); editor, 3rd edition of A.H. Maslow's Toward A Psychology of Being (New York: John Wiley, 1999); editor, The Journals of A.H. Maslow (2 volumes, Monterey, CA: Brooks/Cole, 1979); and editor, Dominance, Self-Esteem, Self-Actualization (Monterey, CA: Brooks/Cole, 1973).
His current research interests are focused chiefly on the possibilities of the World Wide Web. One project, now largely completed, has been the development of free, web-based, multi-platform software for statistical computation. Another project, now underway, is aimed at placing on the web a full-length textbook in statistical methodology that is both interactive and free to all users.
