Millman received a PhD from MIT in 1935.[1] He joined Columbia University in 1951, and retired in 1975. From 1941 to 1987, Millman wrote eight textbooks on electronics, and he helped develop radar systems.[1] Millman's theorem (otherwise known as the parallel generator theorem) is named after him. He received in 1970 the IEEE Education Medal.[2]
Millman died of pneumonia at his home in Longboat Key, Florida in 1991.[1]
