Abstract
ON the retirement of Prof. G. R. Goldsbrough, the chair of applied mathematics at King‘s College has been filled by the appointment of Dr. A. E. Green. Dr. Green obtained distinction at Cambridge in Part III of the Mathematical Tripos, was a Smith‘s Prizeman and research fellow of Jesus College. Since 1939 he has held the post of lecturer in mathematics at the Durham Colleges. Dr. Green‘s published work mainly covers the subjects of hydrodynamics and elasticity. In the former he has dealt with the production of small eddies from large ones, the gliding of a plate on a stream and the fluctuations of pressure in a turbulent fluid. In elasticity he has investigated the stability of thin twisted strips and corrugated plates, and numerous problems in the stress systems of æ olotropic plates.
