The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Richard Vynne Southwell, on a paper 'The numerical solution of non-singular linear integral equations' by L Fox and E T Goodwin

Reference number: RR/77/190

Date: 04 October 1952

Description

Sectional committee: Engineering

Paper reference code: A164

Recommended for publication in the Philosophical Transactions. Southwell writes: 'I am sorry that this paper should have been held up by reason of my having been away - and the more so since I do not feel that I am competent to act as a referee. I have read the paper carefully, and I judge it to be sound, important, and well-written; but it raises no new problem in 'relaxation', and to judge it one would need to be well acquainted with the theory of integral equations - and I am not!'.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1953].
