A miller's son, George Green (1793 1841) received little formal
schooling yet managed to acquire significant knowledge of modern
mathematics, especially French work. In 1828 he published his Essay
on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of
Electricity and Magnetism, the work for which he is now celebrated.
Admitted to Cambridge in 1833 as a mature student, Green went on to
become a fellow of Gonville and Caius College. His early death,
however, cut short a promising career as a mathematical physicist.
While English contemporaries saw what he might have achieved, they
did not understand what he had actually achieved. Only when William
Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) rediscovered Green's first publication
and shared it with the French mathematical elite was his greatness
truly appreciated. Edited by the Cambridge mathematician Norman
Macleod Ferrers (1829 1903) and published in 1871, this collection
comprises Green's influential essay and nine further papers."
