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 got 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 mathematics faculty at Harvard University (as Benjamin Peirce Instructor, 1932–33),^[3] University of Rochester (1941–55), math department at Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (1952–53) University of Notre Dame (1955–63), and Wayne State University in Detroit (1963-). During World War II, he was with the Montreal Theory group for National Research Council of Canada.^[4] The Seidel class is named after him.^[5]

He was married to Leah Lappin-Seidel (1904–99).^[6]
