Wing Commander Charles Angas Hurst (22 September 1923 – 19 October 2011[1][2]) was an Australian mathematical physicist noted for his work in lattice models, quantum field theory, asymptotic expansions and Lie groups. He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2003, elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1972, and awarded the Centenary Medal and an Hon DSc (Melb).[3][4]

His PhD was a seminal work on quantum field theory, developing asymptotic expansions for perturbation expansions. In 1952 Hurst represented Australia in the inaugural International Mathematical Union.[citation needed]

Hurst's work with Herbert Green[5] on lattice problems and the Ising model led to the Free fermion field model,[6] which contained all known properties of Fermions at the time of its publication. Hurst's work with Thirring (Thirring model) found the simplest non-linear field and is still used as a test model for perturbation theory.[citation needed]

Hurst served as acting vice-chancellor of the University of Adelaide in 1985, relieving Donald (Don) Stranks.[7]
