Woldemar Weyl

Woldemar Anatol Weyl (1901 – July 30, 1975) was a German-born scientist.

Weyl taught at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute between 1932 and 1936, when he began traveling to the United States as a visiting professor at Pennsylvania State University.[1] Due to the increasing influence of the Nazi Party, Weyl choose not to return to Germany and was offered full tenure at PSU in 1938.[1][2] In 1960, Weyl and mathematician Haskell Curry were appointed to the first two Evan Pugh Professorships at Penn State.[3] Weyl died in State College, Pennsylvania on July 30, 1975, aged 74.[1]
