G. S. Carr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Shoobridge Carr (1837 – ??) wrote Synopsis of Pure and Applied Mathematics (1886)(ISBN 0-8284-0239-6). This book, first published in England in 1880, was read and studied closely by Srinivasa Aiyangar Ramanujan when he was a teenager.
Carr was a coach for the Tripos mathematics examinations at the University of Cambridge, and the Synopsis was written as a study guide for those examinations.
