Why Is D. M. G. Wishart Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, David Matthew G. Wishart was a British statistician. Wishart was born in Stockton-on-Tees to parents William and Nelly in 1928. His father, an engineer, worked for Imperial Chemical Industries and was later a lecturer in mechanical engineering at the University of Birmingham. His mother was one of the first women to have earned a doctorate in Scotland, completing her graduate studies in physical chemistry. Wishart was educated at Oundle School, and enrolled at the University of St Andrews, originally to study chemistry, before changing his focus to mathematics. Wishart was later awarded a scholarship by the English-Speaking Union. He used the funds to pursue a doctorate at Princeton University, where he met George Kendall. Wishart's doctoral thesis, Augmentation Techniques in the Theory of Queues, was completed in 1960.
