Beginnings with Philip McShane: A Progress-Oriented Tribute

Abstract

Terrance Quinn obtained his BSc in 1987, his MSc in 1988 and his PhD in 1992 (all in mathematics). During his early career, he published in pure and applied mathematics, as well as in mathematics pedagogy. He gradually broadened his focus, with the works of Bernard Lonergan (1904–1984) and Philip McShane (1932–2020) becoming significant influences. Quinn has publications in foundations of science and has been making inroads in economics.
