Albert E. Green

Albert Edward Green (11 November 1912, London – 12 August 1999) was a British applied mathematician and research scientist in theoretical and applied mechanics.

Green studied at the University of Cambridge, where he attended lectures by Sydney Goldstein, Arthur Eddington and G. I. Taylor. In 1932 he attained a first in the first part of the Tripos examinations in mathematics and in 1934 was Wrangler in the second part. After his first very promising publications he was named the 1936 Fellow of Jesus College, received the 1936 Smith Prize, and in 1937 received his PhD under Taylor. With Taylor he published in the 1930s and 1940s a series of works on stress distribution in anisotropic plates. In 1939 Green became a lecturer at the University of Durham and then in 1948 a professor of applied mathematics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (at that time called King´s College of the University of Durham). In Newcastle he chaired the mathematical faculty with Werner Wolfgang Rogosinski and then alone after Rogosinki's retirement in 1959. From 1959 to 1962 Green was also Dean of the Faculty of Science. He was from 1968 Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Oxford (where the elasticity theorist Augustus Edward Hough Love was one of his predecessors). In 1977 Green retired as professor emeritus.

In 1955/1956 and 1963/1964 he was a visiting professor at Brown University (working with Ronald S. Rivlin). As a frequent visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, he worked with Paul M. Naghdi.
