The New York Times said Samuelson worked with a number of future Nobel laureates while teaching at MIT, including Robert M. Solow, George A. Akerlof, Lawrence R. Klein and Paul Krugman.
Solow said when economists "sit down with a piece of paper to calculate or analyze something, you would have to say that no one was more important in providing the tools they use and the ideas that they employ than Paul Samuelson."
In addition to receiving the Nobel Prize in 1970, Samuelson shared his knowledge in his 1948 college textbook "Economics" that went on to become the best-selling textbook in the United States for nearly three decades.
"I don't care who writes a nation's laws -- or crafts its advanced treatises -- if I can write its economics textbooks," Samuelson once said about his writing endeavors.
The Times said Samuelson, who died of unspecified causes, is survived by survived by his wife, Risha Clay Samuelson; his daughters, Jane Raybould and Margaret Crawford-Samuelson; his sons, William, Robert, John and Paul; his brother, Robert Summers; and 15 grandchildren.
