The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Herbert William Richmond, on a paper 'The design of repeating patterns' by Percy Alexander MacMahon and W P D MacMahon

Reference number: RR/26/98

Date: November 1921

Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London', however if this is 'Part I' as indicated, the full paper might be too long. Suggests omitting a few of the drawings. Refers to work of Arthur Moritz Schoenflies. From knowledge of the author's previous work, this new series will be well developed and thorough.

[Published in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London' A, 1922]
