Thomas Hakon Grönwall
Thomas Hakon Grönwall or Thomas Hakon Gronwall (January 16, 1877 in Dylta bruk,
Ph.D. at Uppsala in 1898. Grönwall worked for about a year as a civil engineer in Germany before he emigrated to the United States in 1904. He later taught mathematics at Princeton University and from 1925 he was a member of the physics department at Columbia University.[1]
In 1925 he started to collaborate with Victor LaMer, which led to his joining the Department of Physics at Columbia University as an associate in 1927. This connection was a great opportunity. There were no teaching obligations; he had complete control of his own time and an abundance of new intriguing problems to address in physical chemistry and in atomic physics. He developed a solution to higher approximation in the Debye–Hückel theory.
