| Title | Letter from E J [Edward John] Routh, Newnham Cottage, Queen's Road, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Routh; Edward John (1831-1907); Canadian mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 8 October 1900 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for the 'brilliant address' he gave to the Mathematical Section of the British Association. He notes the study of the atom as a dynamical system, and Larmor's use of the principle of least action, now more generally employed, even in elementary dynamics. He has only read through the address once, and thinks there are many new things in it. |
