Hurst, Charles Angas was born on September 22, 1923 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Son of Walter William and Audrey Carrie (Morris) Hurst.
He was a holder of Department of Administration and Management, Doctor of Philosophy, Honorary Doctor of Science (Melb). His Doctor of Philosophy 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. Hurst"s work with Herbert Green on lattice problems and the Ising model led to the Free fermion field model, 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.
Served with Royal Australian Air Force, 1942-1945. Fellow Australian Academy Science, Australian Institute Physics.
Married Barbara Leigh Stevens, December 15, 1945. Children: Angas John, Elinor Mary, Rachel Louise.
