Wall received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in
1927. He was a professor of pure mathematics at the University of Texas at
Austin (1946-1971) where he directed the doctoral work of over 60 students.
Wall utilized the discovery-based method of teaching in his classroom. His
research interests included continued fractions, Hellinger integrals, group
theory and infinite processes.
