| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On certain functions connected with tesseral harmonics, with applications' by A H [Arthur Herbert] Leahy |
| Creator | Leahy; Arthur Herbert (1857-1928); British mathematician |
| Date | 1894 |
| Description | The transformation of a zonal harmonic referred to a pole on a sphere to another pole on the same sphere, and its expression in a series containing the 2n + 1 harmonics of the same order referred to this new pole, is an operation frequently employed in physical research. The purpose of this paper is the investigation of certain functions of the angular distance between the poles which occur when a general tesseral harmonic is transformed from one pole and plane to another pole and another plane of reference.
Includes eight geometrical diagrams and a detailed table of contents.
