Horatio Scott Carslaw

Horatio Scott Carslaw (12 February 1870, Helensburgh, Dumbartonshire, Scotland – 11 November 1954, Burradoo, New South Wales, Australia) was a Scottish-Australian mathematician.[1][2] The book he wrote with Jaeger, Conduction of Heat in Solids, remains a classic in the field.

In 1903, upon the retirement of Theodore Thomas Gurney,[3] Carslaw was appointed Professor and the Chair of Pure and Applied Mathematics in the now School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney. He retired in 1935[4] to his house in Burradoo where he produced most of his best work.[1] The Carslaw Building at the University, completed in the 1960s and containing the School, is named after him.[5]
