Why Is Ralph H. Fowler Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sir Ralph Howard Fowler was a British physicist and astronomer and physical chemist. Education Fowler was born at Roydon, Essex, on 17 January 1889 to Howard Fowler, from Burnham, Somerset, and Frances Eva, daughter of George Dewhurst, a cotton merchant from Manchester. He was initially educated at home, going on to attend Evans' preparatory school at Horris Hill and Winchester College. He won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge and studied mathematics, becoming a wrangler in Part II of the Mathematical Tripos.
