Thomas William Tucker (born July 15, 1945) is a retired[1] American mathematician, a Charles Hetherington Professor of Mathematics, Emeritus, at Colgate University,[2] and an expert in the area of topological graph theory.[3][4]

Tucker did his undergraduate studies at Harvard University, graduating in 1967,[2] and obtained his Ph.D. from Dartmouth College in 1971, under the supervision of Edward Martin Brown.[5]

Tucker's father, Albert W. Tucker, was also a professional mathematician, and his brother, Alan Tucker, and son, Thomas J. Tucker, are also professional mathematicians.
