| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the integration of algebraical functions, with illustrations in mechanics' by W H L [William Henry Leighton] Russell |
| Date | 1874 |
| Description | Russell aims to find a simple method of evaluating integrals. He expresses the values of irrational algebraic quantities by means of linear differential equations with rational coefficients, and expresses their integrals by means of converging series. He then considers how to ascertain under what circumstances linear differential equations of the second order are satisfied by irrational functions.
