Abstract
Paul M. Naghdi was born in Tehran on 29 March 1924 and grew up in a highly educated family. During his youth, he developed strong interests in mathematics and in history, especially in the history of the United States. In 1943, he undertook a perilous voyage to the U.S. to pursue his education. He was admitted to Cornell University, where he studied mechanical engineering. Paul took advantage of the excellent mechanics program that existed there and, in his senior year, attended the two-course sequence on elasticity taught by J. N. Goodier. But, he chose his area of specialization to be heat transfer, and took many courses in classical and statistical thermodynamics. He was graduated from Cornell with a B.S. degree in January 1946.
