De Morgan House 57-58 Russell Square London WC1B 4HS Tel: 020 7863 0881 Email: office@lims.ucl.ac.uk Sir James Lighthill He was born in Paris in 1924. His father, whose family had come from Alsace in the 1860s, was an engineer with an international outlook that James inherited in abundance. From preparatory school at Boxgrove he won a highly competitive scholarship to Winchester College. This seems to have a permanently unsettling effect on many Wykehamists. But James did better than most in following William of Wykeham's motto 'Manners makyth man'! He was always a polite and gracious man. There were only a few occasions when the mathematics at a seminar was so awful that he had to leave or had to remonstrate rather forcibly. Although he won a mathematical scholarship to Trinity College Cambridge at the age of 15, he broadened his education and went up in 1941 aged 17 - together with his mathematical school friend Freeman Dyson. They shared the distinction later on of both becoming honorary Fellows of Trinity. James was amongst the Wranglers when he completed the Maths Tripos two years later; he took only pure maths papers, because he said these could be most useful in his planned career in applied mathematics. It was remarkable that 40 years ago, he could see that these transformations could lead to analysis and hand-calculations. Nowadays they form the basis for the computation of almost any kind of flow. He then showed how approximations to the exact equations for' the different parts of the flow, say near the fish or far away was the next step in the analytical simplification of the flow calculations. Professor Keith Stewartson and Frank Smith's pioneering work at University College analysing flows over the surface of aircraft wings using a three layer sandwich approach owes much to James' work.

His father, Ernest Balzar Lighthill was a mining engineer who was working in Paris at the time his son was born. In fact the original family name had been Lichtenberg, the family being Alsatian, but Ernest Lichtenberg had changed his name to Ernest Lighthill in 1917. James's mother, Marjorie Holmes, was the daughter of an engineer and she was 18 years younger than her husband. Ernest Lighthill was 54 years old when James was born, and three years later, in 1927, he retired and returned to live in England. James was educated at Winchester College and, at the age of 15, he won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge. However, he chose to wait until he was 17 years old before entering Trinity College which he did in 1941. He graduated with a BA in 1943, after taking a course shortened because of World War II. While at Cambridge, Lighthill met Nancy Dumaresq who was studying mathematics at Newnham College. Lighthill tried to get a job in the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough after he graduated, since Nancy already had a job there. However, he was offered a job in the Aerodynamics Division of the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. Lighthill married Nancy in 1945, the year he finished his job at the National Physical Laboratory.

COMMENT ON SIR JAMES LIGHTHILL Sir James Lighthill F.R.S., founder President of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, was one of the scientists who were interviewed by Louis Wolpert, for his BBC Radio series "Passionate Minds", published by OUP in 1997. Here is a passage from that interview, on pages 62-63: Wolpert: `Now most of your work has been in fluids. Is there something about fluids that appeals to you?' Sir James: Aha, yes, I think so! I have a sort of general pleasurable feel about fluids and, of course, I'm very interested in flight, and although I worked entirely on aeronautical flight in those days, I subsequently did very comprehensive studies of animal flight - birds, bats and insects - during my later period in Cambridge, working with the zoology department there. And my hobby is swimming; I have a great deal of interest in the ocean - ocean waves, ocean currents, ocean tides - and so I enjoy observing all that when I swim. And then I have a fellow feeling for the swimming animals, and I've written papers about almost all varieties of swimming fishes and invertebrates, and quite a lot of work on micro-organism locomotion. Wolpert: `Part of your passion for fluids is swimming?'

(photo by Bob Bruen) Sir M. James Lighthill " I think the subject I became interested in above all was mathematics. I am a mathematician fundamentally, although I have done many other things. I became very interested in mathematics at a very young age. I can never remember not being interested in mathematics, certainly at the age of three or thereabouts." Sir M. James Lighthill During the war in 1941, there was a rule that no one could have more than two years of university education. After that, students were expected to engage in the war effort. Bright students were managing to get the bachelor's degree in the two years. There were very few other people going to the postgraduate lectures that Lighthill and Dyson attended. As a result, Lighthill and Dyson had some of the greatest mathematicians almost to themselves. Sometimes there were only five students in classes given by G. H. Hardy, J. E. Littlewood, P. A. M. Dirac, A. S. Besicovitch, and many other top mathematicians. The ones that taught him most were Hardy and Littlewood, both great mathematical analysts. Both believed that their work was only of importance for its own sake and because it was pure mathematics, incapable of being used for anything. A famous book by Hardy, called A Mathematician's Apology , was written to make this point.

James Lighthill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from M. James Lighthill Sir Michael James Lighthill 23 January 17 July ) was a British applied mathematician He specialised in fluid dynamics , and worked at the National Physical Laboratory, Trinity College, Cambridge and between and at the University of Manchester . Lighthill then moved from Manchester to become director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough . There he worked on the development of television and communications satellites , and on the development of manned spacecraft . This latter work was vital to the development of the Concorde supersonic airliner Lighthill's early work included two dimensional aerofoil theory, and supersonic flow around solids of revolution . In addition to the dynamics of gas at high speeds he studied shock and blast waves. He is credited with founding the subject of aeroacoustics, a subject vital to the reduction of noise in jet engines Lighthill's eighth power law states that the acoustic power radiated by a jet engine is proportional to the eighth power of the jet speed. He also founded

The Sir James Lighthill Distinguished Lectureship Award was established to honor leaders in mathematical sciences and to attract them to visit the Florida State University to give lectures, inspire students and interact with the faculty and students. Sir James Lighthill, who held an honorary doctorate from FSU, was a great mathematical scientist of the twentieth century, his contributions in the diverse field of fluid dynamics were insightful, fundamental and enduring. He had an uncanny ability to find mathematical descriptions of physical processes that were deceptively simple and yet captured the essence of complex fluid dynamical phenomena in such fields as aeroacoustics, water waves and biofluiddynamics. For more than half a century the famous Lighthill acoustic analogy has formed the basis of procedures for computing the noise produced by aircraft engines. His formulation of the general principles of fluid waves has led to greater understanding and prediction capabilities for ocean currents and flood movement. His pioneering, interdisciplinary contributions to biofluiddynamics ranged from blood motion to animal flight. Lecturers: Dr. Peter Lax
