Abstract
While at Stanford, Hotelling began teaching in both the areas of mathematics and the burgeoning new theory of statistics. One can see from the names of the courses he taught that he was developing his statistical insights through his pedagogy. His first offering was in the theory of probability and in statistical inference, and by 1926–27, he was also teaching differential geometry and topology. His expertise in this emerging discipline of statistics led to his appointment as an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Stanford by 1927. Clearly, he had made a great impression at a relatively young age of 31 and at one of the best schools in the West.
