Herman March

Herman William March (1878 – 1953) was a mathematician and physicist.

March studied physics and mathematics at the University of Munich under Wilhelm Röntgen and Arnold Sommerfeld. He received his doctorate in 1911.^[1][2] He had a position at the University of Wisconsin–Madison no later than circa 1920.^[3][4] He died in 1953.^[5]
