Welcome page The World Great Mathematicians
Stokes established the science of hydrodynamics with his law of viscosity (1851), describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid. Stokes published papers on the motion of incompressible fluids in 1842-43 and on the friction of fluids in motion and the equilibrium and motion of elastic solids in 1845. In 1849 Stokes was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. In 1851 Stokes was elected to the Royal Society and was secretary of the Society from 1854 to 1884 when he was elected president. He investigated the wave theory of light, named and explained the phenomenon of fluorescence in 1852, and in 1854 theorised an explanation of the Fraunhofer lines in the solar spectrum. He suggested these were caused by atoms in the outer layers of the Sun absorbing certain wavelengths. However when Kirchhoff later published this explanation Stokes disclaimed any prior discovery. Stokes developed mathematical techniques for application to physical problems, founded the science of geodesy, and greatly advanced the study of mathematical physics in England. His mathematical and physical papers were published in 5 volumes, the first 3 of which Stokes edited himself in 1880, 1883 and 1891. The last 2 were edited by Sir Joseph Larmor in 1887 and 1891.

    Magnetic dynamos with dynamics
    Numerical simulations by Dave Galloway and Olga Podvigina have shed new light on magnetic field generation in astrophysical plasmas, allaying fears that the proposed mechanism would saturate long before the field became as strong as is observed. All magnetic effects are produced by moving electrically charged particles (electric currents) and since almost all astrophysical objects consist of gases of electrically charged particles known as plasmas, almost all astrophysical objects are magnetized. For example the Sun is very strongly influenced by magnetic effects, as are most stars, and the more active planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, and even the Earth is magnetized though via a different process. In most astrophysical objects magnetic fields are thought to build up as a result of so-called ``dynamo action'' when the electrically conducting gases comprising the object move in concert and generate the field in a manner analogous to a dynamo in a power station generating electricity. This process was originally suggested by Sir Joseph Larmor in 1919 and astrophysicists and mathematicians have been investigating it ever since. There is no doubt that the mechanism works if the gas motions remain unhampered by the magnetic fields that they generate, which is the case if the magnetic fields remain weak. Most work has considered only this case but it has recently been suggested that when the back reaction of the field on the motion (via the so-called Lorentz force) is included this theory may have problems explaining the magnetic fields observed in the cosmos.

    67. La Vita Di Joseph John Thomson
    larmor è il sposò Rose Elisabeth, figlia di sir George E
    http://digilander.libero.it/sofiasabatti/thomson/JJThomson.htm
    Joseph John Thomson Joseph John Thomson nacque a Cheetham Hill, a sobborgo di Manchester (in Inghilterra), il 18 dicembre del 1856.
    Suo padre morì quando J. J. aveva solo sedici anni.
    Si iscrisse nell'Owens College di Manchester nel 1870, dove il suo professore di matematica lo incoraggiò affinché riuscisse ad entrare al Trinity College, uno dei college più prestigiosi della Cambridge University.
    Nel 1876 J. J. vinse la borsa di studio e nel 1880 fu il secondo della propria classe (dopo Joseph Larmor) nell'estenuante gara degli esami di matematica.
    Divenne un 'Fellow' del Trinity College nel 1880 e rimase un membro del College per tutto il resto della sua vita, come 'Lecturer' dal 1883 e come 'Master' dal 1918.
    J. J. Thomson da piccolo, nel 1861 circa.
    (Dalla biografia di Thomson scritta da Lord Rayleigh) Gli studenti della Cambridge University di solito lavoravano con dei tutor privati per prepararsi al "Tripos", un esame noto per essere particolarmente difficile. In questa fotografia sono ripresi gli studenti del tutor E. J. Routh nel 1879. Thomson è il primo sulla destra dei quattro dell'ultima fila, davanti alla porta; Larmor è il primo sulla sinistra della stessa fila. (Hill and Saunders, Cambridge)

    Back to table of contents.
    THE AETHER
    The grand concept of the world aether, an all pervasive medium which penetrated matter and extended throughout the universe, was of fundamental importance in nineteenth century scientific thought. It was believed that wave phenomena of any kind required such a medium within which to happen and to propagate. The existence of light, generally recognized by 1840 as a wave phenomenon, and its propagation throughout the universe demanded the existence of the aether as a mechanical medium subject to dynamical laws. MAC CULLAGH
    as controversialist. Since Einstein, the existence of the aether has ceased to be a necessary or relevant hypothesis. Yet a modern world view demands the existence of a complex fluctuating energy-rich vacuum: an image which closely parallels that of the classical aether. There is a certain irony in that what relativity took away the quantum revolution in some sense restored. Of course classical aether models, such as Mac Cullagh's, have little relevance for the rich, teeming, all-pervasive vacuum as it is now understood, which can only be described in the language of quantum field theory, nevertheless there is a continuity in concept and vision which causes the idea of the aether to retain a certain fascination even today.

    Fluid Dynamos: An Ongoing Challenge to Applied Mathematicians
    9:00 AM-9:45 AM
    Chair: Anna Lawniczak, University of Guelph, Canada
    Room: Convocation Hall

    The directional property of the magnetic compass needle has been known for over 4000 years, but it was only in 1919 that Sir Joseph Larmor gave the explanation that has stood the test of time: the magnetic field of the Earth is created by the motion of its electrically-conducting fluid core. The theory of such self-excited homogeneous dynamos has, after many vicissitudes, produced simulated fields that behave in a similar way to the geomagnetic field. Meanwhile observation has revealed many other examples of cosmic magnetism that of planets, satellites, and galaxies that are explained by similar dynamo mechanisms. The subject is currently being actively developed by several groups in several countries, but much remains to be done. The speaker will present an assessment of the subject as it stands today.

    academical distinctions included honorary degrees from many universities, together with membership of the Prussian Order Pour le Mérite. Sir George Stokes’s mathematical and physical papers were published in a collected form in five volumes; the first three (Cambridge, 1880, 1883, and 1901) under his own editorship, and the two last (Cambridge, 1904 and 1905) under that of Sir Joseph Larmor, who also selected and arranged the Memoir and Scientific Correspondence of Stokes published at Cambridge in 1907. STOLBERG, FRIEDRICH LEOPOLD, GRAF ZU (1750—1819), (from 1812) in the neighbourhood of Bielefeld, he removed to his estate of Son dermuhlen near Osnabrück, where he died on the 5th of December 1819. He wrote many odes, ballads, satires and dramas—among the last the tragedy Timoleon (1784), translations of the Iliad (1778), of Plato (1796—1797), Aeschylus (1802), and Ossian (1806); he published in 1815 a Leben A if reds des Grossen, and a voluminous Geschichte der Religion Jesu Christi (17 vols., 1806—1818). Stolberg’s brother, CHRISTIAN, GRAy zu STOLBERG (1748—1821), was also a poet. Born at Hamburg on the 15th of October 1748, he became -a magistrate at Tremsbuttel in Holstein in 1777, and died on the ,Sth of January 1821. Of the two brothers Friedrich was undoubtedly the more talented, but Christian, though not a poet of high originality, excelled in the utterance of gentle sentiment. They published together a volume of poems, Gedichte (edited by H. C, Boie, ,779); Schauspiele mit Choren (1787), their object in the latter work being to revive a love for the Greek drama; and a collection of patriotic poems Vaterlandische Gedichte (1815). Christian von Stolberg was the sole author of Gedichte aus dent Griechischen (1782), a translation of the works of Sophocles (1787), and of a poem in seven ballads, Die weisse Frau (1814), which last attained considerable popularity.

    SIR EDWARD VICTOR APPLETON
    Nobel Laureate
    Pioneer of Radio and Space Research
    INTRODUCTION
    Sir Edward Appleton, Nobel prizewinner, and widely recognized as the discoverer of the Ionosphere, was born in 1892 in the city of Bradford. Although he ceased full-time residence in Bradford at the age of 19, he maintained close links with the members of his family who remained there, and it was thus a significant influence in his life.
    Early years in Bradford
    While at this school, Appleton developed an interest in physics, spurred by the influence of a gifted and energetic physics master, J. A. Verity. Appleton developed a passion for physics, scoring 100% in his first school examination in the subject. Verity recog­nized his potential, to the extent that he was given a key to the laboratory and was permitted to attend some more advanced classes at the Bradford Technical College. It is noteworthy that his portrait photograph from that period was posed in the company of an optical bench.
    Cambridge and World War I
    Appleton went up to Cambridge (St John’s College) in 1911 and his undergraduate career appears to have been exemplary, resulting in a ‘double first’ (i.e. first-class honours in Part I of the Natural Science Tripos in 1913 and first-class honours again in Part II Physics papers in 1914). He seems to have spent the vacations back in Bradford, including further periods of work at the Technical College, probably because his home life at the time was clouded by the terminal illness of his first sister Isabel, who died at the end of 1911.

    80. A Breief History Of The Electron
    The electron was first discovered in 1898 by sir John joseph Thomson. In thissense joseph larmor, JJ Thomson's Cambridge classmate, used the term.

    Includes student results for determining the electron's charge/mass ratio Particles Main The electron was first discovered in 1898 by Sir John Joseph Thomson. Almost 100 years ago J.J. Thomson was at Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. Thomson was investigating 'Cathode Rays' which had been a puzzle for a long time. Through his experiments Thomson put forward a then controversial theory in which the 'Cathode Rays' were made up of streams of particles much smaller than atoms, Thomson called these particles 'corpuscles'. Thomson mistakenly believed that these 'corpuscles' made up the entire atom. This idea was controversial as most people at this time thought that the atom was the smallest particle in matter and was divisible. Thomson's theory was not explicitly supported by his experiments. It took more experimental work by Thomson and others to conclusively prove the theory. The atom is now known to contain other particles as well. Yet Thomson's bold suggestion that 'Cathode Rays' were material constituents of atoms turned out to be correct. The rays are made up of electrons: very small, negatively charged particles.
    Mysterious Rays
    Science lecturers who traveled from town to town in the mid nineteenth century delighted audiences by showing them the ancestor of the neon sign. They took a glass tube with wires embedded in opposite ends. They then applied a high voltage across the tube. When the air was pumped out of the tube the interior of the tube would glow. In 1859 a German physicist sucked out still more air with an improved pump and saw that where this light from the cathode reached the glass it produced a fluorescent glow. Evidently some kind of ray was emitted by the cathode and lighting up the glass.
