Thomas Zaslavsky

Thomas Zaslavsky (born 1945) is an American mathematician specializing in combinatorics.

Zaslavsky's mother Claudia Zaslavsky was a high school mathematics teacher at New York; his father Sam Zaslavsky (from Manhattan) was an electrical engineer. Thomas Zaslavsky graduated from City College of New York. At M.I.T. he studied hyperplane arrangements with Curtis Greene and received a Ph.D. in 1974. In 1975 the American Mathematical Society published his doctoral thesis.

Zaslavsky has been a professor of mathematics at the Binghamton University, New York since 1985. He has published papers on matroid theory and has made available a bibliography on signed graphs and their applications. He has also written on coding theory, lattice point counting, and Sperner theory.
