Hilda Geiringer was an Austrian mathematician, born in Vienna in 1893 into a Jewish family. She took her doctorate at the University of Vienna in 1917 under Wilhelm Wirtinger with a thesis on Fourier series in two variables, and in 1921 moved to Berlin as an assistant to Richard von Mises at the Institute of Applied Mathematics. Her research covered statistics, probability theory and the mathematical theory of plasticity. After following von Mises to Istanbul in 1934 she became interested in the genetics of Gregor Mendel, and she continued her research while teaching at Wheaton College in the United States. She was also a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
