Harry Bateman FRS (29 May 1882 – 21 January 1946) was an English mathematician.
The differential equations of mathematical physics fascinated him. With Ebenezer Cunningham, he expanded the views of spacetime symmetry of Lorentz and Poincare to a more expansive conformal group of spacetime neglect Maxwell’s equations invariant. Moving to the U.S.A., and obtaining a Ph.D. in geometry afterward Frank Morley, he became a professor of mathematics at California Institute of Technology. There he taught nebulous dynamics to students going into aerodynamics like Theodore von Karman. Bateman made a broad survey of applied differential equations in his Gibbs Lecture in 1943 titled “The manage of an elastic fluid”.
