Thomas Zaslavsky

Thomas Zaslavsky (born 1944) is an American mathematician specializing in combinatorics.

Zaslavsky's mother Claudia Zaslavsky was a high school mathematics teacher and ethnomathematician from New York, and his father Sam Zaslavsky was an electrical engineer from Manhattan. Thomas Zaslavsky graduated from the City College of New York. He studied arrangement of hyperplanes with Curtis Greene at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 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 Binghamton University since 1985. He has published papers on matroid theory, hyperplane arrangements, coding theory, lattice point counting, and Sperner theory. He has also made available a bibliography on signed graphs and their applications.
