Everything about Augustus Edward Hough Love totally explained
Augustus Edward Hough Love (
17 April 1863,
Weston-super-Mare -
5 June 1940,
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. This work was published as a book with the help of the Cambridge University Press in 1911. It was published again in 1967 by Dover, New York, USA.
Love waves were discussed in Chapter 11 of this book.
Love also contributed to the theory of
tidal locking, introducing the parameters known as
Love numbers, which are widely used today.
He was educated at
Wolverhampton Grammar School and in 1881 won a scholarship to
St John's College, Cambridge, where he was at first undecided whether to study classics or mathematics. His successful progress vindicated his choice of mathematics, and in 1886 he was elected Fellow of the college. 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.
His other awards include the
Royal Society Royal Medal in
1909 and
Sylvester Medal in
1937, the
London Mathematical Society De Morgan Medal in
1926. He was secretary to the London Mathematical Society between
1895 and
1910, and president for
1912-
1913.
