Maurice Jaswon: link to a biographical note

I recently posted a C code for the solution of Eshelby problem based on the paper by Jaswon and Bhargava.

In the last couple of days, I learnt that Jaswon also worked with Cottrell on solute drag and is one of the pioneers of boundary element method. The following paper by Martin gives a nice introduction to Jaswon and his work -- along with a complete listing of Jaswon's papers. There is also a lovely photograph of Jaswon with R D Bhargava in the paper and the first few references are also a good place for those who want to understand the history of boundary element method.

So, here is a strongly recommended (but, not-so-heavy) read for the week!

Maurice Jaswon and boundary element methods, P.A.Martin, Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements 36 (2012) 1699–1704.
