From about 1850 onwards the London Royal Society published obituaries of their fellows.
From 1934 onwards these were presented in separate volumes.
More than 250 mathematicians in our archive have such obituaries.
Because of the way the older obituaries are presented, it may be necessary to scroll down past other entries.
A list of the obituaries in Alphabetical order is at THIS LINK.
