James Thomas Smith was born on November 8, 1939, in Springfield, Ohio, United States, to Earl Gearhart Smith, a postmaster, and Betty Mae McCartney Smith, a clerk.
In 1961, Smith received a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University. In 1964, he also received a Master of Arts from San Francisco State University, then got a Master of Science from Stanford University in 1966 and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Regina in 1970.
From 1962 to 1967, James T. Smith worked as a mathematician at the United States Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory in San Francisco, California, United States. Then, from 1965 to 1969, he was an assistant professor at San Francisco State University in San Francisco, California, United States, and from 1969 to 2008, he was a professor there. From 1967 to 1969, Smith also was a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
James also was a visiting professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Mills College and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Besides, he held the post of a visiting lecturer at California State University in Hayward, California.
From 1984 to 1985, James also worked as a software engineer at Blaise Computing Inc., and from 1988 to 1989, as a lecturer at Asia e University - Malaysia's Digital Global University. Currently, Smith is most involved in the history of mathematics in Italy, 1850-1950.
He also wrote the following books - The IBM PC/AT Programmer's Guide (1986), Getting the Most from Turbo Pascal (1987), Advanced Turbo C (1989), C++ for Scientists and Engineers (1991), C++ Application Guide (1992), C++ Toolkit for Engineers and Scientists, International Thomson Computer Press (1997) and Methods of Geometry (2000).
