In search of Thomas Knight: Part 2
摘要:
Between 1809 and 1820, Thomas Knight (1775–1853) published quite a few papers on mathematics and its applications. These show him to have been surprisingly well-versed in French analytical mathematics at a time when French works were little read by his British contemporaries. In BSHM Bulletin 2, Gloria Edwards and I published a paper (Craik and Edwards 200411. Craik , Alex D D and Edwards , Gloria . 2004. "In search of Thomas Knight". In BSHM Bulletin Vol. 2, 17–27. denoted [I] View all references) entitled 'In search of Thomas Knight', designated below as '[1]', that examined Knight's life and work. This follow-up paper gives further biographical information that links him with Edinburgh; it describes some more of his publications that were previously overlooked (for notice of the latter, I am grateful to a correspondent who wishes to remain anonymous); and it records some remarks about his work by his contemporaries.
