William Hopkins FRS (2 February 1793 – 13 October 1866) was an English mathematician and geologist. He is famous as a private tutor of aspiring undergraduate Cambridge mathematicians, earning him the sobriquet the senior-wrangler maker. He also made important contributions in asserting a solid, rather than fluid, interior for the Earth and explaining many geological phenomena in terms of his model.

- William Hopkins FRS (2 February 1793 – 13 October 1866) was an English mathematician and geologist. He is famous as a private tutor of aspiring undergraduate Cambridge mathematicians, earning him the sobriquet the senior-wrangler maker. He also made important contributions in asserting a solid, rather than fluid, interior for the Earth and explaining many geological phenomena in terms of his model. However, though his conclusions proved to be correct, his mathematical and physical reasoning were subsequently seen as unsound.
- William Hopkins est un mathématicien et géologue britannique. Il est connu de nos jours principalement comme professeur privé, un nombre important de ses élèves à Cambridge sortent dans les premiers de leurs promotions et feront partie de l’élite scientifique britannique, ce qui lui vaut le surnom de fabricant de senior-wrangler. Il fait aussi d’importantes contributions dans le domaine de la géologie en apportant son expérience de mathématicien pour élaborer des modèles physiques du globe terrestre, il est ainsi le fondateur de l’école de géophysique britannique. Toutefois bien que ces conclusions soient correctes, ses raisonnements seront jugés comme douteux.
- William Hopkins was een Engels wiskundige en geoloog. Hij introduceerde wiskundige analyse in de tektoniek en toonde aan dat de smelttemperatuur van gesteente toeneemt op grotere diepte.
- William Hopkins foi um matemático e geólogo britânico. Foi laureado com a medalha Wollaston concedida pela Sociedade Geológica de Londres, em 1850. William Hopkins, na Enciclopédia Britânica – 1911 em domínio público Biografia – Universidade St Andrews
