PAUL ADRIEN MAURICE DIRAC

Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac was born on

August 8, 1902 in Bristol, England. He was an
English theoretical physicist in the 20th century who
had an important role in the world of physics. Little
Dirac grew in Bristol. His father from Swiss, Charles
was born in the city of Monthey near Geneva in
1866 and his mother the name is Florence Holten, a
woman born in Liskeard in 1878.

He was educated at the Merchant Venturer’s Secondary School, Bristol

and then went on to Bristol University. In this university he studied electrical
engineering, obtaining the B.Sc. (Engineering) degree in 1921. Then he continued
his studies mathematics for two years at Bristol University. And then going on to
St. John’s College in Cambridge as a research student in mathematics. He
received his Ph.D. degree in 1926. The following year he became a Fellow of
St.John’s College and, in 1932 he was appointed Professor of Lucasian
Mathematics at Cambridge.

Dirac was an important physicist in the 20th century. He was a scientist

working on quantum field theory. Quantum field theory from the dirac has now
become the foundation for the development of all theories about subatomic
particles or elementary particles. His theories are still influential and important in
the development of physics until now, and the equations and concepts that he put
forward are the subject of discussion in theoretical physics lectures around the
world. some of the awards he has ever gotten are :
a. Nobel Prize in Physics (1933)
b. Royal Medal (1939)
c. Copley Medal (1952)
d. Max Planck Medal (1952)
e. Fellow of the Royal Society (1930)
Dirac died on Oct 20, 2019 in Tallahassee, Florida and was buried at
Tallahassee's Roselawn Cemetery.
