Ronald William Henry Turnbull Hudson (16 July 1876 – 20 September 1904) was a British mathematician. [1]
Hudson read mathematics in St John's College, Cambridge, beginning in 1895, and became senior wrangler in 1898. In the same year he was elected as a Fellow of St John's. He moved to University College, Liverpool as a lecturer in 1902, and defended a doctorate (D.Sc.) at the University of London in 1903. He died in a mountaineering accident in 1904 at the age of 28, [1] but his posthumously-published book Kummer's Quartic Surface allows mathematicians today access to his work.
He was the oldest of four children of W.H.H. Hudson, Professor of mathematics at King's College London. [1] One of his sisters, Hilda Hudson was likewise a gifted mathematician, being a graduate of Newnham, a lecturer at the University of Berlin, and ultimately being awarded the O.B.E. in 1919. [2]
