Nationality

We say that Hilton's a "British-born American mathematician". He obviously works in the US, but, just to be careful, do we know that he identifies as American? It would be somewhat unfortunate to get this wrong ;-) — Matt Crypto 15:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think he spent the vast majority of his career in the United States. He was in Binghamton since about the 60's -- I will need to look it up to be more precise. I should also note that Peter Hilton has 349 (!) papers listed under his name at MathSciNet (certainly almost all these written in the US), making him one of the most prolific mathematicians I know of. As for how he identifies himself, I'm not sure, I need to look into that. In the meantime, if you think there is a better formulation, please go ahead. At any rate, I think this article is worth expanding -- thanks for starting it. I will try to add to it when I get a chance. Turgidson 16:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The current formulation is OK: "British-born" is safe enough, and then we describe the places ~~and times~~ (times would be good) he's worked overseas. But it's quite possible that someone would still identify themselves as British even though they have been working in the US for decades. Yes, darn prolific: one page gives the figure as over 500! — Matt Crypto 16:27, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! This sort of info needs to go in the article per se (the article is growing by leaps and bounds!) I will try to work on it tonight. Turgidson 17:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elizabeth Amelia Freedman

Hilton's mother can probably be better identified. It seems very likely that it's Hannah Beirnstein [1], and that Joseph Leopold Freedman the solicitor was her brother. As J. L. Freedman he appears in various close connections: he is in the Who's Who in World Jewry (1987), p. 153. The ODNB says she was involved with Jewish charities, but there is probably more to say.
