An article on William Lawrence Bragg's life, accomplishments, and his impact on the modern world.
Biography
William Lawrence Bragg was born on 31 March 1890 in North Adelaide, South Australia as the son of William Henry Bragg, the elder professor of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Adelaide. Early on in his life, Bragg showed an interest in math and science. In 1905 he attended St Peter's College and then at the age of 16, he studied math, chemistry and physics at the University of Adelaide. After graduating from the University of Adelaide in 1908, Brag attended Trinity College, Cambridge in 1909. He received a major scholarship in mathematics even though he took the exam in bed with Pneumonia. Bragg would later transfer from mathematics to physics and graduated with first class honors in 1911.
