Love) LC data base, 10-20-86 (hdg.: Love, Augustus Edward Hough, 1863-1940) Wikipedia, July 2, 2020 (Augustus Edward Hough Love; Augustus Edward Hough Love FRS (born 17 April 1863 in Weston-super-Mare; died 5 June 1940 in Oxford), often known as A. E. H. Love, was a mathematician famous for his work on the mathematical theory of elasticity; he also worked on wave propagation and his work on the structure of the Earth in Some Problems of Geodynamics won for him the Adams prize in 1911 when he developed a mathematical model of surface waves known as Love waves; Love also contributed to the theory of tidal locking and introduced the parameters known as Love numbers, which are widely used today; these numbers are also used in problems related to the tidal deformation of the Earth due to the gravitational attraction of the Moon and Sun; in 1899 he was appointed Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Oxford, a position which he retained until his death in 1940; he was also a Fellow of Queen's College; he authored the two volume classic, A Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity, and several articles in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, including Elasticity and Infinitesimal Calculus) |
