E. T. Whittaker Edmund Taylor Whittaker 24 October 24 March ) was an English mathematician, who contributed widely to applied mathematics mathematical physics and the theory of special functions . He had a particular interest in numerical analysis , but also worked on celestial mechanics and the history of applied mathematics and the history of physics . He was born in Southport Lancashire England He is remembered as the author of A Course of Modern Analysis (1902), which in its 1915 second edition in collaboration with George Neville Watson became , one of the handful of mathematics texts of its era to become indispensable. He is the eponym of the Whittaker function or Whittaker integral , in the theory of confluent hypergeometric functions . This makes him also the eponym of the Whittaker model in the local theory of automorphic representations . He published also on algebraic functions and automorphic functions . He gave expressions for the Bessel functions as integrals involving Legendre functions In the theory of partial differential equations , Whittaker developed a general solution of the Laplace equation in three dimensions and the solution of the wave equation . He developed the electrical potential field as a bi directional flow of energy (sometimes referred to as alternating currents ). Whittaker's pair of papers in

home about us people research ... About us History of School History of School Mathematics has been studied at the University from its very foundation in 1583. In the early years, all students followed the same MA curriculum, modelled on that of other European universities such as Paris and Bologna. It included Greek, Logic, Philosophy, Natural Philosophy (as Physics was then known) and Mathematics. Notable amongst the early Professors of Mathematics were the three Gregory's James , his nephew David and David's brother James - who held the Chair in succession from 1674 to 1742. They were enthusiastic supporters of Isaac Newton and incorporated his ideas into their teaching, ideas which at that time were controversial and considered quite revolutionary. Colin Maclaurin In the latter part of the eighteenth century, the University saw a number of mathematicians such as Adam Ferguson John Playfair and Sir John Leslie who were typical of their time, the age of the Scottish Enlightenment. They were all-round scholars who could well move from a chair in Moral Philosophy to one in Mathematics or from one in Mathematics to Natural Philosophy. The nineteenth century saw the controversial appointment of the Rev Philip Kelland as Professor of Mathematics. He was the first Englishman with an entirely English education admitted to a chair in the University and held the Chair for 41 years. He would have taught

39. Whittaker And The Aether In 1910 the mathematician edmund whittaker published “A History of the Theoriesof Aether and Electricity”, an excellent book describing in great detail the http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath571/kmath571.htm

Whittaker and the Aether aether . The novelty of Einstein’s interpretation was in the idea that the evident relativity of all physical phenomena transcended the properties or behavior of any subtance (aether), and was instead a consequence of the structure of space and time. Whittaker was always unsympathetic to this interpretation, as is clear from his preface to the second edition: The whole change in the conception of the ether which the special theory of relativity brought about consisted in taking away from the ether its last mechanical quality This ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality characteristic of ponderable media, as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time. The idea of motion may not be applied to it. with Whittaker’s conclusion of the chapter in Volume I on mechanical models of the aether (culminating in Kelvin’s vortex sponge Towards the close of the nineteenth century, chiefly under the influence of Larmor, it came to be generally recognised that the aether is an immaterial medium, sui generis, not composed of identifiable elements having definite locations in absolute space We see in these quotations a remarkable concordance in the conception of the aether (to the extent that we might wonder if one was influenced by the other), but a predictable disagreement as to the origin of this conception. Einstein says it was a consequence of special relativity (by which he presumably meant his own version of special relativity as described in his 1905 paper), whereas Whittaker attributes it to Larmor at the end of the nineteenth century, when, he says, “it came to be generally recognized”. It would be interesting to know if this passage was carried over unchanged from the first edition, or if it was new in the second edition. Whittaker says in the preface that “the volume of 1910 has been to a considerable extent rewritten”, so it’s possible that his memory of what was “generally recognized” by the end of the nineteenth century may have been influenced by subsequent developments.
