Wladimir P. Seidel ( December 21, 1907 – January 12, 1981 in Detroit ) was a Russian-born German-American mathematician, and Doctor of Mathematics. He held a fellowship as a Benjamin Peirce Professor in Harvard University. During World War II, he was with the Montreal Theory group for the National Research Council of Canada.

Life

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

Career

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]
