Earle Raymond Hedrick
Earle Raymond Hedrick (born September 27, 1876 in Union City , Indiana , † February 3, 1943 in Providence , Rhode Island ) was an American mathematician who dealt with analysis and applied mathematics (electrical engineering, heat conduction, mechanics).
Hedrick went to school in Ann Arbor and studied from 1892 at the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in 1896, was briefly a mathematics teacher and continued his studies at Harvard University in 1897 with Maxime Bôcher and William Fogg Osgood with a master's degree in 1898. From 1899 to 1901 he studied in Göttingen with Felix Klein and David Hilbert , where he received his doctorate in 1901 (on the analytical character of the solutions of differential equations). He was also in 1901 at the École normal supérieure in Paris and heard Édouard Goursat (whose Cours d'analysis he later translated into English), Émile Picard , Jacques Hadamard , Paul Appell and Jules Tannery . From 1901 he was an instructor at Yale University , 1903 professor at the University of Missouri and 1920 professor at the University of California, Los Angeles . There he was head of the mathematics faculty and 1937-1942 Provost and Vice President of the University of California.
From 1913 to 1915 he was editor of the American Mathematical Monthly and 1921 to 1937 of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society . From 1929 to 1930 he was President of the American Mathematical Society . He was the first president of the Mathematical Association of America and Vice President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1916 .
