Why Is Frank C. Hoyt Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Frank Clark Hoyt was an American physicist, regarded as one of the first theoretical physicists to come from the USA in the period that quantum mechanics was being developed. Biography He was born to Carrie Louise Stokes and Louis Phelps Hoyt, an organist. He went to Harvard School for Boys. At school, his primary interest was literature - he wanted to study Greek - but the path to science developed in his final year after taking chemistry and physics courses. He enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, starting in chemical engineering, moving towards pure chemistry before being influenced by his teachers towards physics. After completing his BSc in 1918 , he remained as an assistant, taking his MSc a year later on the subject of X-ray crystallography. In 1920, he followed David L. Webster as a graduate student to Stanford University, working with Webster on excitation potentials of X-ray lines until 1921, when he completed his PhD.
