Wladimir P. Seidel ( December 21, 1907 – January 12, 1981 in Detroit ) was a Russian-born German-American mathematician.

He was born in Odessa, Russia on December 21, 1907.[1]

He earned his Ph.D. from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in München (February 26, 1930) on a dissertation ­­entitled Über die Ränderzuordnung bei konformen Abbildungen, advised by Constantin Carathéodory.[2]

He joined the faculty of Mathematics at Harvard University (as Benjamin Peirce Instructor, 1932–33),[3][4] at University of Rochester (1941–55), at The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1952–53), at University of Notre Dame (1955–63), and at Wayne State University in Detroit (1963-).

During World War II, he was with the Montreal Theory group for the National Research Council of Canada.[5]

The Seidel class is named after him.[6]

He was married to Leah Lappin-Seidel (1904–99).[7]
