Biography
Education and Experience
Jacob Schwartz is Professor of Computer Science and Mathematics at New York University.
Schwartz earned his B.S. at the City College of New York in 1948 and his Ph.D. at Yale University in 1951. He began
his career as a mathematics instructor at Yale and in 1953 was promoted to assistant professor. In 1957, Schwartz
joined the faculty at New York University (NYU) as associate professor, and in 1958 was promoted to his current
position of professor.
Reseach
He is currently trying to develop a design for a new multimedia language and environment, which is seen as a much
generalized version of Macromind ``Director.'' As in all language design efforts, a key strategic goal is to
``put it all together,'' i.e. to specify a framework in which many of the interesting graphical facilities that
have become known can be brought together in an environment that facilitates their easy use. The new language
will aim to accommodate large projects and large data sets, and to support cooperative work by substantial groups of developers.
