| Title | Letter from Thos H [Thomas Howell] Laby, Natural Philosophy Department, University of Melbourne, to Sir Joseph [Larmor] |
| Creator | Laby; Thomas Howell (1880-1946); Australian physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 5 December 1921 |
| Description | He refers to a paper by Picken being sent to Larmor which contains a simple method in Euclidian geometry, noting the difficulty of publishing anything in mathematics. The position of mathematics and physics workers in Australia is more difficult than it was before the war. He asks for Larmor's advice to Picken, as his work in physics has impressed Laby as being valuable. In discussions, he has made effective criticisms of the relativists. |
