John Hilton Grace
John Hilton Grace FRS (21 May 1873 – 4 March 1958) was a British mathematician. The Grace–Walsh–Szegő theorem is named in part after him.
He was born in Halewood, near Liverpool, the eldest of the six children of farmer William Grace and Elizabeth Hilton. He was educated at the village school and the Liverpool Institute. From there in 1892 he went up to Peterhouse, Cambridge to study mathematics. His nephew, his younger sister's son, was the animal geneticist, Alan Robertson FRS.
He was made a Fellow of Peterhouse in 1897 and became a Lecturer of Mathematics at Peterhouse and Pembroke colleges. An example of his work was his 1902 paper on The Zeros of a Polynomial. In 1903 he collaborated with Alfred Young on their book Algebra of Invariants.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1908.
He spent 1916–1917 as visiting professor in Lahore and deputised for Professor MacDonald at Aberdeen University during the latter part of the war.
In 1922 a breakdown in health forced his retirement from academic life and he spent the next part of his life in Norfolk.
He died in Huntingdon in 1958 and was buried in the family grave at St. Nicholas Church, Halewood.
