Abstract
STOKES ranged over the whole domain of natural philosophy in his work and thought; just one field —electricity—he looked upon from outside, scarcely entering it. Hydrodynamics, elasticity of solids and fluids, wave-motion in elastic solids and fluids, were all exhaustively treated by his powerful and unerring mathematics.
