George Garfield Hall (born
March 5 ,1925 ), is an appliedmathematician and scientist of distinction, known for original work and contributions to the field ofQuantum chemistry .Hall was born in
Belfast ,Northern Ireland . He independently fromClemens C. J. Roothaan discovered the Roothaan-Hall equations. He was awarded a Ph.D. degree for this work in 1950 supervised by SirJohn Lennard-Jones atCambridge University . He then lectured at Cambridge University as Assistant in Research inTheoretical chemistry . He was elected to a Fellowship atSt Johns College, Cambridge in 1953. From 1955 to 1962 he lectured in Mathematics at theImperial College ,London . In 1957-58 he spent a year withPer-Olov Löwdin inUppsala ,Sweden . He became Professor of Mathematics at theUniversity of Nottingham in 1962. In 1982 he took early retirement from Nottingham University and was appointed an emeritus professor. He moved in 1983 toKyoto University ,Japan , returning to Nottingham in 1988. He has collaborated with (inter alia) A.T. Amos, K. Collard, and D. Rees.He is now Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Fellow in the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at
Nottingham University . He has a Sc. D. degree fromCambridge University and an Honorary D. Eng. degree fromKyoto University .He is a member of the
International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science .He received an honorary DSc from the National University of Ireland at Maynooth.
