Greene was an undergraduate at Michigan State University and a Putnam Fellow in 1963.[1] He went to princeton briefly, then completed his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in 1969. His doctoral advisor was Hung-Hsi Wu; his doctoral thesis was titled Isometric Embeddings of Riemannian and Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds.[2]
Personal life
editGreene is also an amateur violinist, and was the violin instructor of Russell Crowe[3] in the 2003 epic period war-drama film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. In Princeton years, he played violin with Hassler Whitney, one of the founders of the subject differential topology, who was a violin and viola player. [4]
