John Rider Klauder(born January 24, 1932) is an American professor of physics and mathematics, and author of over 250 published articles on physics.

He graduated fromUniversity of California, Berkeleyin 1953 with aBachelor of Science.He received his PhD in 1959 fromPrinceton Universitywhere he was a student ofJohn Archibald Wheeler.

A former head of theTheoretical PhysicsandSolid StateSpectroscopy DepartmentsofBell Telephone Laboratories,he has been a visiting professor atRutgers University,Syracuse University,and theUniversity of Bern.In 1988, John Klauder was appointed professor of physics and mathematics at theUniversity of Florida.He was awarded the title of distinguished professor in 2006 and became emeritus in 2010.

He was inducted as a Foreign Member of theRoyal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters,and received theOnsager Medalin 2006 atNTNU(Norway).

He has also served on the Physics Advisory Panel of theNational Science Foundationand been Editor of theJournal of Mathematical Physics,president of theInternational Association of Mathematical Physics,associate secretary-general of theInternational Union of Pure and Applied Physics.

Bibliography

• Beyond Conventional Quantization

"When treated conventionally, certain systems yield trivial and unacceptable results. This book describes enhanced procedures, generally involving extended correspondence rules for the association of a classical and a quantum theory, which, when applied to such systems, yield nontrivial and acceptable results. Requiring only a modest prior knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, this book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics, mathematical physics, and mathematics."
