Statistical and mathematical techniques have been used in the earth sciences for about one-hundred years, but only after the introduction of the electronic computer in the mid-Twentieth Century did a revolution in the science take place. The story of the quantification of geology is best told through the works of those who fostered the dramatic change. Here is chronicled the contributions of six pioneers in numerical geology in short exposés by authors close to, and knowledgeable of, the people and their work. The pioneers include F. Chayes (American), J. C. Griffiths (American/Welsh), W. C. Krumbein (American/German), G. Matheron (French), R. A. Reyment (Australian/Swede), and A. B. Vistelius (Russian). These magnificent six also played a major role in forming the International Association for Mathematical Geology in 1968 at the International Geological Congress in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
