Ramon E. Moore

Ramon Edgar Moore was an American mathematician, known for his pioneering work in the field of interval arithmetic.
Moore received an AB degree in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1950, and a PhD in mathematics from Stanford University in 1963. His early career included work on the earliest computers. He was awarded the Humboldt Research Award for U.S. senior scientists twice, in 1975 and 1980.
His most well known work is his first book, Interval Analysis, published in 1966. He wrote several more books and many journal articles and technical reports.

R. E. Moore Prize

The R. E. Moore Prize for Applications of Interval Analysis is an award in the interdisciplinary field of rigorous numerics. It is awarded biennially by the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at El Paso, and judged by the editorial board of the journal Reliable Computing. The award was named in honor of Moore's contributions to interval analysis.
