Joseph Miller Thomas (16 January 1898 – 1979) was an American mathematician, known for the Thomas decomposition of algebraic and differential systems. Thomas received his Ph.D., supervised by Frederick Wahn Beal, from the University of Pennsylvania with thesis Congruences of Circles, Studied with reference to the Surface of Centers. He was a mathematics professor at Duke University for many years. His graduate students include (later married to L. B. Reavis) and Ruth W. Stokes. In 1935 he was one of the founders of the Duke Mathematical Journal. For the academic year 1936–1937 was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study.

Er befasste sich hauptsächlich mit der algebraischen Theorie von Systemen von partiellen Differentialgleichungen auf Mannigfaltigkeiten wie Pfaffschen Systemen. Die Thomas-Zerlegung polynomialer Systeme partieller Differentialgleichungen (und Ungleichungen) ist nach ihm benannt. Weitere Arbeitsgebiete waren konforme Invarianten und algebraische Theorie der Gleichungen. Daneben befasste er sich wie auch Oswald Veblen mit Ballistik. Er war 1935 einer der Gründer des Duke Mathematical Journal und bis 1944 deren Managing Editor. 1937/38 war er im Rat der American Mathematical Society und 1945/46 deren Vizepräsident. Er war Mitglied der französischen mathematischen Gesellschaft. (de)

Based upon earlier work by Charles Riquier and Maurice Janet, Thomas's research was important for the introduction of involutive bases. (en)
