Mr. Kenneth Kloss was born in 1942. Mr. Kloss attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology and received a Master's degree in Technology in 1963. He joined NBS Applied Mathematics Division that same year. Mr. Kloss, at that time, was regarded as one of the Nation's most capable young computer scientists and mathematicians. He has made valuable contributions to the NBS PILOT program--the development of a highly complex multistage research computer. He wrote programs which otherwise were tasks typically requiring "man" years of effort by a high level team. He also has contributed significantly to the Department of Commerce's Economic Analysis of Supersonic Transport. Mr. Kloss conducted personal research in the field of number theory, where he made many useful contributions. He has succeeded in extending several mathematical tables to over 10 times the previously published ranges and his studies have disproved certain conjectures in the mathematical literature.
