[edit] Career of Dr. Chapman
This article is quite oddly designated, because Sydney Chapman was primarily a mathematician, and then there were other secondary fields of study that he moved into later on in his career. His work in mathematical random processes was so important that the pivotal equations in the field, the Chapman-Kolmogorov equations are named for him and for the Russian mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov, who worked them out independently. Also, there was no mention that one of his secondary fields of study was in atmospheric physics, and not in geophysics, which most people think of to include things like the study of earthquakes, volcanos, plate tectonics, and other things that happen underground.
