Title | Letter from Augustus Edward Hough Love, 34 St Margaret's Road, Oxford, to [Edmund Taylor] Whittaker |
Date | 31 October 1903 |
Description | Has at last been able to look at Whittaker's equations of electrodynamics and considers Whittaker's work to be new. Discusses analagous work in hydrodynamics by Helmholtz and Clebsch. Expresses scepticism about electrodynamics in general, 'I have never seen anything about electrons moving with excessive velocities that seemed to me to have a grain of sense in it'. |
