John Edmund Kerrich (1903–1985) was a mathematician noted for a series of experiments in probability which he conducted while interned in Nazi-occupied Denmark in the 1940s. ==Biography== Born in Norfolk, England,〔(SASA Newsletter, September 2012 )〕 grew up in South Africa, and was educated there and in the UK. He was appointed lecturer in mathematics in 1929, and senior lecturer six years later. In April 1940, while visiting in-laws in Copenhagen, Kerrich was caught up in the Nazi invasion and interned in Hald Ege, Viborg, Midtjylland. While there he conducted simple experiments using coins and ping-pong balls to demonstrate the empirical validity of a number of fundamental laws of probability. On his release after the end of the Second World War, Kerrich published an account of his experiments in a short book entitled ''An Experimental Introduction to the Theory of Probability''.〔(A Brief History ), The Department of Statistics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.〕 Originally published in Denmark, the book was later reprinted by the University of Witwatersrand Press. In 1957, Kerrich was appointed Foundation Professor of Statistics at the University of Witwatersrand and retired in 1971. He was married with two sons.〔
