Notable for his work in the fields of algebraic and differential geometry, this twentieth-century mathematician was responsible for the development of Hodge theory and was a major contributor to the geometrical study of Kahler manifolds.
After graduating from Edinburgh University in the early 1920s, he continued his study of mathematics at Cambridge University.
His numerous honors include Cambridge's Adams Prize, the London Mathematical Society's Berwick Prize, and the Copley and Royal Medals.
Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, William Vallance Douglas (W.V.D.) Hodge later taught in Bristol and Cambridge, England.
