The Royal Society: Science in the Making

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

Reference number: RR/16/241

Date: 16 March 1905

Description

Sectional Committee: not stated.

Baker states Mr Webb has added the links which were missing, though still perhaps with too much brevity. Baker thinks he is now justified in recommending that the paper be accepted for publication. Baker does not distinguish between Transactions and the new Proceedings, but as he has experience of Transactions and has as yet had no means of judging Proceedings, he recommends publication in the former.

Hobson also agrees that the paper should be published in Philosophical Transactions.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1905].
