He received the for the article "Euler and the Cubic Basel Problem," published in The American Mathematical Monthly in 2021 and the for "The Early (and Peculiar) History of the Möbius Function," which appeared in Mathematics Magazine in 2018.
In his remarks on receiving the awards, Dunham mentioned Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Collier Science Library: "On its shelves, I have found Euler’s mathematical works, some fascinating 19th-century journals, and volumes inscribed by faculty superstars like Charlotte Angas Scott and Emmy Noether.
