Quick Info. Born. 14 July 1793. Sneinton, Nottingham, England. Died. 31 May 1841. Sneinton, Nottingham, England. Summary. George Green was an English mathematician best-known for Green's function and Green's theorems in potential theory. Biography. George Green's father, also called George Green, was a baker in Nottingham.
George Green (14 July 1793–31 May 1841) was a British mathematician and physicist, who wrote An Essay on the Applications of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electricity and Magnetism (Green, 1828). The essay introduced several important concepts, among them a theorem similar to modern Green's theorem, the idea of potential functions ...

1793-1841. English Mathematician. D uring his career in mathematics, George Green developed some of the most important ideas in the area of mathematical physics. Chief among these was the development of potential function, subsequently used to describe electrical and magnetic fields as well as the energy present in some mechanical systems.
George Green is listed in most references as a mathematical physicist. This would certainly surprise many of George Green's peers. Green was a miller, and worked long hours at the wind-powered mill that his father had built.
GEORGE GREEN, MATHEMATICIAN AND PHYSICIST 1793-1841 his work to modem science and in particular, since the 1950s, to quantum mechanics. A final reason militating against Green's name becoming widely known to the general public is the advanced nature of his mathematics. This fact powerfully indicates the full stature of Green, a
