Biography
Berry was born in Southbridge, Massachusetts in 1940, and obtained a A.B. in Mathematics from Dartmouth University, before moving to Yale university where he received an M.A and Ph.D. in statistics.[4] Berry initially "flunked out" of his undergraduate education at Dartmouth and joined the army, being stationed in Panama, but at the request of his Dean he returned to Dartmouth to complete his undergraduate education in mathematics.[5]
