Frank Lauren Hitchcock (6 de março de 1875 – 31 de maio de 1957) foi um matemático e físico estadunidense, conhecido por sua formulação do problema de transporte.

Formação e carreira

Frank entrou na Universidade Harvard, onde obteve o bacharelado em 1896. Começou então a lecionar, inicialmente em Paris e no Kenyon College em Gambier (Ohio). De 1904 a 1906 lecionou química na Universidade Estatal de Dakota do Norte em Fargo (Dakota do Norte).

Hitchcock retornou a Massachusetts e começou a lecionar no Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts com estudos de pós-graduação em Harvard. Em 1910 obteve um Ph.D. com a tese Vector Functions of a Point.[1]
