The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Ernest William Hobson, on a paper 'The convergence of infinite series of analytic functions' by H A Webb

Reference number: RR/16/239

Date: January 1904

Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

Hobson thinks the paper should certainly be published, and in full, but he thinks it is rather more suitable for Proceedings. It consists largely of statements of theorems without proofs and would not occupy more than about 18 to 20 pages of Proceedings.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1905].

Endorsed on verso as received 9 January 1905.
