Howard Hawks Mitchell

Howard Hawks Mitchell (January 13, 1885, Marietta, Ohio – 1943) was an American mathematician who worked on group theory and number theory and who introduced Mitchell's group.

In 1910 he received a PhD from Princeton University as Oswald Veblen's first doctoral student. During the academic year 1910/1911 Mitchell was an instructor at Yale University. At the University of Pennsylvania he was an instructor from 1911 to 1914 and then a professor until his death in 1943 at age 58 from coronary thrombosis.

His doctoral students include Leonard Carlitz.

gollark: No it isn't.

gollark: I expect iGPUs in a few generations to actually be good enough for me to happily game on.

gollark: The issue is more of scaling them up and making them more efficient (they're already doing that) and adding the ability to actually run on a dedicated card (they're doing that).

gollark: But they've made iGPUs for ages.

gollark: I mean, some, yes.
