Graduated from Stanford University in 1948 with a bachelor's degree and 1949 with a master's degree. He did his Ph.D. work at Harvard, where he received his doctorate in 1951. He then returned to Stanford as a faculty member. He served as chair of the math department and the departmental historian. He was associate dean for the School of Humanities and Science from 1962 to 1965 and acting dean for 1968-69. He was dean from 1973 to 1981. He was active on the Faculty Senate and was an editor for the Pacific Journal of Mathematics.

His area of specialty was complex analysis and his Ph.D.
advisor was Lars Ahlfors.
MathSciNet lists 59 publications for Dr. Royden. Based on class notes he wrote for his class “Theory of Functions of a Real
Variable” in the 1950s, he developed his book
Real Analysis.
He was working on a linear algebra book at the time of his death.

Patrick M. Fitzpatrick has a B.A. (1966) and Ph.D. (1971) from
Rutgers University. He has been with the University of Maryland since 1975 and was chair of the Department of Math from 1996 to
2007. He is also author of Advanced Calculus , American
Mathematical Society (2009). His webpage at the University of
Maryland is at: http://www2.math.umd.edu/~pmf/

Preface: “This book is the outgrowth of a course at Stanford entitled Theory of Functions of a Real
Variable which I have given from time to time during the last ten years. It was designated for first-year graduate students in mathematics and statistics.”
Prologue to the Student: “This book covers a portion of the material that every graduate student in mathematics must know.”
The ETSU Sherrod Library has a first edition, first printing of Royden’s Real Analysis. It was published by Macmillan and Company (New York) in 1963. The call number is 517.5 R813
(Dewey decimal) or QA331.5.R6 (L.O.C.). The book is stamped “East Tennessee State
University” and “ETSU” several places. According to the “Date Due” card in the back, it was first checked out November it was first due on November 19, 1964. It was checked out regularly from then until around 1975, several times in 1981, 1985, 1993, and 1994.
The library also has a 1968 printing of the second edition.
