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

Tucker did his undergraduate studies at Harvard University, graduating in 1967,[1] and obtained his Ph.D. from Dartmouth College in 1971, under the supervision of Edward Martin Brown.[4]

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.
