Louis Melville Milne-Thomson, CBE (1 May 1891 – 21 August 1974) was an English applied mathematician who wrote several classic textbooks on applied mathematics, including ''The Calculus of Finite Differences'', ''Theoretical Hydrodynamics'', and ''Theoretical Aerodynamics''. He is also known for developing several mathematical tables such as Jacobian Elliptic Function Tables. The Milne-Thomson circle theorem is named after him. Milne-Thomson was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1952. ==Early years and career== Milne-Thomson was born in Ealing, London, England on 1 May 1891 to Colonel Alexander Milne-Thomson, a physician and Eva Mary Milne, the daughter of the Revd J. Milne.〔 He was the eldest of his parents' sons. He studied at Clifton College in Bristol as a classical scholar for three years. After securing a scholarship, Milne-Thomson joined Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1909 and received part I of the Mathematical Tripos in 1911. He graduated with distinction as a Wrangler in 1913. In 1914 Milne-Thomson joined Winchester College in Hampshire as an assistant mathematics master and taught there for next seven years. In 1921 he was appointed professor of mathematics at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich and remained there until retirement at the age of 65.〔 After retiring from the Royal Naval College, Milne-Thomson took up various posts as Visiting Professor at various institutions around the world, including the Brown University at Rhode Island, the US Army Mathematics Research Center at the University of Wisconsin (1958–1960), the University of Arizona (1961–1970), University of Rome (1968), the University of Queensland (1969), the University of Calgary (1970), and finally the University of Otago (1971).〔 At the end of a long career Milne-Thomson quit academia in 1971 and went to live in Sevenoaks, Kent where he died at the age of 83.〔 His great-granddaughter is now a teacher at The Abbey School, Reading.
