Richard Michael Wilson (23 November 1945) is a mathematician and a professor at the California Institute of Technology. Wilson and D. K. Ray-Chaudhuri, his Ph.D advisor, solved Kirkman's schoolgirl problem in 1968. Wilson is known for his work in combinatorial mathematics.
His breakthrough in pairwise balanced designs, and orthogonal Latin squares built upon the groundwork set before him, by R. C. Bose, E. T. Parker, S. S. Shrikhande, and Haim Hanani is widely referenced in Combinatorial Design Theory and Coding Theory.
