OBITUARY OF SIR JAMES LIGHTHILL (1924-1998) This obituary of Lighthill is from the London Times. -By a correspondent, July 1998 Scientist dies at 74 swimming round isle A SCIENTIST who became the first person to swim around the Channel Island of Sark has died trying to repeat the feat at the age of 74. Sir James Lighthill was found in rough seas off the island's rocky coast more than nine hours after he stepped into the waves for the nine-mile swim. Inspector Paul Gill of Guernsey Police said: "He had apparently swum around the island six times over the years, but this time he didn't make it. The tides are pretty big around Sark and there are some ferocious currents." Sir James, from Cambridge, helped to advance the science of aerodynamics during the Second World War, and was director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment from 1959 to 1964. One of his main interests was fluid dynamics - the science of the movement of water - and he was reported to have used his expertise to calculate the best way to tackle the Sark swim in 1973.

By 1982, it was able to launch its first joint degree, Linguistics with Artificial Intelligence. There were no blueprints for these courses: in each case, the syllabuses had to be carved out of the body of research.

23. Lighthill Tribute, NAL, Bangalore, India Remembering sir james lighthill NAL s tribute to a peerless scientist For usin India, there was something special about sir james lighthill because, http://www.cmmacs.ernet.in/nal/pages/pnsonmjl.htm

Gallery: P N Shankar Remembering Sir James Lighthill NAL's tribute to a peerless scientist Born on 23 January 1924, Michael James Lighthill had his undergraduate education at Trinity College, Cambridge, during the War years 1941-43. He published his first paper, on supersonic aerofoil theory, a few days before his 20th birthday. Some milestones of his meteoric career: Beyer Professor at Manchester in 1950, Director, Royal Aircraft Establishment in 1959, Royal Society (RS) Research Professor, Imperial College in 1964, Physical Secretary, RS, in 1965, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, succeeding Dirac, at Cambridge in 1969, and Provost, University College London in 1979, the university he had been associated with till his death. He received all the honours that naturally come to a man of his stature: Fellowship at Trinity, Fellowship of the RS, various medals of the RS, memberships of many foreign academies, honorary doctorates, memberships of the editorial boards of many journals etc. He was knighted as Sir James Lighthill in 1971. A problem that one faces when one wants to briefly outline the work of a scientist as prolific as Lighthill is, what does one select since there is such an embarrassment of riches? On the positive side, since all the work is of such high quality, one can select anything. So I shall just outline a few contributions chosen mainly to display the amazing width of his expertise.

First, because C-MMACS has now achieved the milestone of completing ten years of existence, and, second, because the function featured a truly remarkable Foundation Day Lecture by Prof R Narasimha, FRS, on Modelling and Simulation of Fluid Flows: Some Examples The function opened shortly after 3 pm with a brief welcome speech by Dr R N Singh, Scientist-in-Charge, C-MMACS. Dr Singh recalled the many events which led to the formation of C-MMACS: how Dr D N Misra conceived the idea, how Prof V K Gaur and Prof Narasimha honed the concept ("often across Prof Gaur's dining table at Hyderabad", as Prof Narasimha later recalled) and how Dr K S Yajnik went on to convert the concept into a vibrant and successful modelling centre (one was particularly happy to greet Dr Yajnik at the function; the success of C-MMACS owes much to his drive and vision). Dr Singh also presented a brief overview of the current activity at C-MMACS, the future focus ("modelling and simulation of complex fluid media ocean, atmosphere, lithosphere, polymers etc. and novel applications of nonlinear dynamics") and read out congratulatory messages to C-MMACS from Dr R A Mashelkar, FRS, DG-CSIR ("I visualise C-MMACS as an intellectual cauldron bubbling with ideas and cerebral ferment"), Dr Harsh K Gupta, Director, NGRI, Dr E Desa, Director, NIO and Dr Trevor Platt, FRS, from Canada's Bedford Institute of Oceanography.

Yousuff Hussaini Add to Cart hardback 2688 pages Dec 1996, Out of Stock Price: Shipping Details Description Product Details Author Information Description This four volume set contains almost all of the scientific papers of Sir Michael James Lighthill. One of the most distinguished scientists of the twentieth century and probably the central figure in many aspects of fluid mechanics, Lighthill's contributions to science include the initiation of the science of aerodynamic sound generation as well as historic work on shock waves, transonic aerodynamics, nonlinear physics, fluid dynamics, and the locomotion of fish, dolphins, and birds. Each volume is divided into sections which unify Lighthill's papers in chronological order under individual themes. The research studies included are classic examples of applied mathematical research, each characterized by a process of three equally important steps: problem formulation based on empiricism or observation, problem solution, and empirical verification, or solution interpretation in relation to the physical phenomena under consideration. Applied mathematics is a two-way bridge between mathematics and science and technology and is inherently interdisciplinary. These volumes bear out this thesis.

Lilley University of Southhampton and ICASE Lee Beach (left) presenting the Theodorsen Lectureship Award to Sir James Lighthill The world of science mourns the tragic death of Sir James Lighthill F.R.S., acknowledged as one of the greatest applied mathematicians of the age, on Friday, July 17, 1998. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Nancy, their son and four daughters. Sir James was a frequent visitor to NASA Langley Research Center and among the many international distinctions, awards and medals he received, was to become the First Theodorsen Lecturer when he delivered his lecture in 1993 on "Some aspects of the aeroacoustics of high speed jets." His most celebrated paper was published in 1952, "On Sound Generated Aerodynamically," a challenging paper, but remarkable for its simplicity and mathematical elegance. It was the first major research contribution in acoustics since the work of Lord Rayleigh in the last century. Almost all of the near 1000 papers written on aeroacoustics and related subjects since 1952, cite the pioneering paper of Sir James Lighthill. In the early 1960's, he showed concern about the teaching of mathematics in our schools and universities and so helped found the Institution for Mathematics and its Applications of which he was the first President from 1965-67. Later he showed similar concern with international recognition being given to the field of sound and vibration and thus, founded the International Institution for Sound and Vibration. He became its first President from 1995-1997.

The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction ICMI Bulletin No. 45 December 1998 Sir James Lighthill, 1924-1998 Geoffrey Howson The death occured in July of James Lighthill who was President of ICMI from 1971 to 1975. Lighthill was one of the leading applied mathematicians of the century and a phenomenally gifted person. After taking a two-year B.A. at Cambridge during World War II, Lighthill went to work at a government scientific laboratory. Shortly after the war ended he moved to Manchester University where, in his early twenties and without a research degree, he was immediately appointed as a Senior Lecturer. In 1950, at the age of 26, he became Professor! In his 30s he left university work to be Director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough and after a succesful period there returned to academic life in the 1960s. He later held Newton's old chair at Cambridge before becoming Provost (Rector) of University College, London. Lighthill's contributions to mathematics education were mainly made in the 1960s and 1970s. He was on several important committees in England and in addition to being President of ICMI at the time of the second International Congress on Mathematics Education (Exeter, England, 1972) he was also Chairman of its Organising Commit-tee. Several seminars were supported by ICMI during his term of office, the most important probably being that, held jointly with UNESCO, at Nairobi, Kenya (1974) on "Mathematics and Language". Lighthill also gave the opening plenary talk at ICME 3 (Karlsruhe, Germany).

The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction ICMI Bulletin No. 50 June 2001 My Remembrances from the Period 1975-1978 Shokichi Iyanaga Recently I received a kind letter from Professor Hodgson, Secretary of the present ICMI, making me the honour of asking me to contribute an article for the fiftieth issue of the ICMI Bulletin, as one of the past presidents of ICMI. It was indeed an extremely great honour for me to be named President of ICMI for the period 1975-78, just after Sir James Lighthill of England and before Professor Hassler Whitney of the U.S.A. I take pleasure of writing these lines concerning this period. Together with his letter, Professor Hodgson sent me kindly the Nos. 46-49 of the ICMI Bulletin among which No. 47 contains the tables of contents of the ICMI Bulletin 1972-1990 and No. 48 a list of the ICMI Executive Committees 1908-1998, both of which have helped me greatly to remember the period concerned. Let me give here a short account thereof and at the same time the situation of this period in my personal life. In the wake of the success of the Bourbaki movement, the reform movement of mathematical instruction began in the early 1950s particularly in the U.S. by the SMSG (School Mathematics Study Group) directed by Begle. But the excess of this tendency was warned by mathematicians like André Weil or M. Kline. In the international politics, on the other hand, the Soviet Union took a quite separate position from the "West" at the time. I believe that the general background of the period 1975-78 was largely like this.

Join Renew Contact SIAM SIAM Journals Online WWW The Passing of a Giant By B.A. Fusaro and M.Y. Hussaini Twenty-five years ago, Sir James Lighthill became the first swimmer to complete the nine-mile circuit around the English Channel Island of Sark, 35 miles southwest of Cherbourg. He would repeat the feat five times, calling it "a most pleasant way to see the scenery." On July 17, he attempted it for the seventh time. He had almost completed the swim when he died. Sir James Lighthill was 74 years old. He left this world the way he lived in it-engaged, persistent, zestful. A limited survey of the honors and recognitions accorded to him would begin with his scholarship to Cambridge University at the age of 15. Named a Fellow of the Royal Society at the age of 29, he later received the society's Royal Medal, as well as the Gold Medal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, for his directorship of the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough. He held chaired professorships at Manchester University and Imperial College, as well as (Newton's) Lucasian Chair at Cambridge. Lighthill received 24 honorary degrees. This remarkable man has left an indelible stamp on the applied mathematics and fluid dynamics communities. A sample of his accomplishments, in a remarkably wide range of fields, includes:

Lighthill, Michael James Born: 23 Jan 1924 in Paris, France Died: 17 July 1998 in Sark, Channel Islands Sir James Lighthill was known as Michael Lighthill when he was a young man. He 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. Lighthill was elected a fellow of Trinity College in 1945 and he held this fellowship until 1949. In 1946 he was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at Manchester University and there he set up a very strong fluid dynamics group which soon dominated research in fluids. In 1950 Lighthill was promoted to Beyer Professor of Applied Mathematics at Manchester University.

James Lighthill Sir James Lighthill (born 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 non-linear acoustics, and showed that the same non-linear
