ANDREW FORSYTH

'Andrew Russell Forsyth' (1858-1942) was a Scottish mathematician. He became Professor Emeritus at the Imperial College of Science.
He is now remembered much more as an author of treatises, than as an original researcher. His books have, however, often been criticised (an example being J. E. Littlewood, in his ''Mathematician's Miscellany''). E. T. Whittaker was his only official student, according to the Mathematical Genealogy site.
