The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Henry Frederick Baker, on a paper 'The general theory of integration' by Dr William Henry Young

Reference number: RR/16/245

Date: 02 December 1904

Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

The paper should be published in full in Philosophical Transactions, with all the accompanying illustrations. The paper could be briefer if entirely recast so as to bring [Henri Léon] Lebesgue's results into earlier statement. The author's modifications following then at the end. This might do injustice to the writer, and he does not feel justified in recommending it.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1905].

Endorsed on verso as received 3 December 1904.
