Douglas Atack is the acknowledged world leader in the science of mechanical pulping, an area of vital importance to one of Canada's foremost industries. His contributions towards the theory of grinding and refining of wood pulp are unmatched by anyone else in the field. Early in his career he discovered the mechanisms involved in the production of stone ground-wood. He then went on to elucidate the principles of chip refining in double disc refiners. Through his work, he has played a major role in the introduction of chip refining, thermomechanical pulping and chemithermomechanical pulping into the Canadian newsprint industry.

Distinguished mathematician of great technical power, his 40 deep and original contributions to many important branches of analysis have triggered research which is now in the focus of international scientific interest. He is held in the highest esteem by analysts all over the world; his recent book "Discrete and continuous boundary value problems" is now being translated into Russian by I.G. Iochvidov and M. G. Krein, two leading Russian mathematicians.
