Rudolf Ernest Langer

Rudolf Ernest Langer (8 March 1894 – 11 March 1968) was an American mathematician, known for the Langer correction and as a president of the Mathematical Association of America.[1]

Career

Langer, the elder brother of William L. Langer and Walter Charles Langer, earned his PhD in 1922 from Harvard University under G. D. Birkhoff. He taught mathematics at Dartmouth College from 1922 to 1925. From 1927 to 1964 he was a mathematics professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and, from 1942 to 1952, the chair of the mathematics department.[1] From 1956 to 1963 he was the director of the Army Mathematics Research Center; he was succeeded as director by J. Barkley Rosser.[2] Langer's doctoral students include Nicholas D. Kazarinoff, Homer Newell, Jr., and Henry Scheffé.

Langer was a colleague of American physicist Carl David Anderson, discoverer of the positron, and was one of the few people to have read Dirac’s work on the anti-electron and made a connection. He sent a short paper to Science making connections between the new observations and Dirac’s theories, putting forth imaginative claims such as that the proton is made of a neutron and a positron. His paper was not taken seriously.[3]
