| Title | Letter from J [Joseph] Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge, to the Secretaries of the London Mathematical Society |
| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 20 November 1885 |
| Description | Larmor refers to a question of mathematical notation which might be settled by the Mathematical Society: those used to express partial and total differentials and differential coefficients. Larmor describes French and German usage, concluding that the German version most nearly corresponds in printing and writing of 'd'. 'The establishment of uniformity would be a great gain'. |
