William Esson, FRS (17 May 1838 in Carnoustie, Scotland[1] – 28 August 1916 in Abingdon, England[2]) was a British mathematician.
Esson attended St John's College, Oxford, and then became a Fellow of Merton College.[3] In 1892, he became the Savilian Professor of Geometry at the University of Oxford, based at New College. He worked on problems in chemistry with Augustus George Vernon Harcourt.
In 1869 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1895 delivered, jointly with Harcourt, their Bakerian Lecture on the Laws of Connexion between the Conditions of a Chemical Change and its Amount. III. Further Researches on the Reaction of Hydrogen Dioxide and Hydrogen Iodide.[4]
In 1874, Esson leased 13 Bradmore Road in North Oxford.[5]
