Ernest William Hobson FRS was an English mathematician, now remembered mostly for his books, some of which broke new ground in their coverage in English of topics from mathematical analysis. He was Sadleirian Professor at the University of Cambridge from 1910 to 1931. He was born in Derby, and was educated at Derby School, the Royal College of Mines, and Christ's College, Cambridge, graduating Senior wrangler in 1878. He became a Fellow of Christ's almost immediately after graduation.

  • Ernest William Hobson FRS was an English mathematician, now remembered mostly for his books, some of which broke new ground in their coverage in English of topics from mathematical analysis. He was Sadleirian Professor at the University of Cambridge from 1910 to 1931. He was born in Derby, and was educated at Derby School, the Royal College of Mines, and Christ's College, Cambridge, graduating Senior wrangler in 1878. He became a Fellow of Christ's almost immediately after graduation. He made his way into research mathematics only gradually, becoming an expert in the theory of spherical harmonics. His 1907 work on real analysis was something of a watershed in the British mathematical tradition; and was lauded by G. H. Hardy. It included material on general topology and Fourier series that was topical at the time; and included mistakes that were picked up later (for example by R. L. Moore).
  • Ernest William Hobson war ein britischer Mathematiker. Hobson besuchte das Derby College (wo er sich schon in einem landesweiten Mathematikwettbewerb auszeichnete) und das Royal College of Mines (er studierte dort kurz Physik mit einem Stipendium), bevor er 1874 zur Universität Cambridge ging (Christ´s College). 1878 wurde er in den Tripos-Prüfungen Senior Wrangler und war danach Fellow seines College. Von 1910 bis 1931 war er Sadleirian Professor für Mathematik in Cambridge. Hobson arbeitete auf dem Gebiet der reellen Analysis, unter anderem der Theorie der Kugelfunktionen. Er schrieb auch über Anwendungen der Analysis wie den Artikel über Wärmeleitung in der Enzyklopädie der mathematischen Wissenschaften. Ab 1912 war er Präsident der Mathematical Association.
  • アーネスト・ウィリアム・ホブソン(Ernest William Hobson, 1856年10月27日 - 1933年1月19日)はイギリスの数学者。現在では、幾つかの本が解析学の新天地を開拓しイギリスの話題を席巻したことで思い出される。1910年から1931までケンブリッジ大学でサドレリアン教授として勤めた。 イングランドのダービーで誕生し、ダービースクール(Derby school),王立マインズカレッジ(The royal college of mines),クライスト・カレッジで学んだ。卒業後直ぐにクライスト・カレッジのフェローになった。少しずつ数学研究に入り込み、球面調和関数論に於いては熟達した。 彼の1907年の実解析に関する業績は、ゴッドフレイ・ハロルド・ハーディに賞賛され英国数学的伝統に於いてちょっとした転換点になった。それは一般位相数学と当時話題となったフーリエ級数を含んだ。しかしそれには間違いも含まれ、後にR.L. ムーアらによって指摘された。
