Birch in 1986. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF HAROLD DAVENPORT Davenport was born and educated in Accrington, where his gifts for mathe- matics and chemistry were early recognised. At the age of sixteen he was awarded scholarships to attend Manchester University (1924 - 27) winning first-class honours and the respect of such tutors as L. J. Mordell and E.A. Milne. The latter encouraged him to enter for a scholarship at Trinity College Cambridge, where he read for the Tripos (1927 - 29), began research with J.E. Littlewood, won a Rayleigh Prize (1931) and a Trinity Fellowship (1932 - 37). Another important event of this period was Davenport's acceptance of an invitation by H. Hasse to stay with him in Marburg, a visit which enabled Davenport to meet several distinguished German mathematicians and to first American visit, to Stanford in 1947 - 48, occurred during the London period and University College of North Wales, Bangor. In 1945 Davenport, who had married was followed by many later transatlantic journeys of varying duration. It was also learn the language thoroughly. His first university post was a return to Manchester new journal Mathematika (1953). In 1958 he was elected Rouse Ball Professor of Mathe- Anne Lofthouse in 1944, moved to University College London as Astor Professor. His from the Mathematics Department of University College that Davenport launched the as Assistant Lecturer (1937 - 41) and in 1941 he was appointed to his first Chair at His contributions to his subject, as (which can sometimes only be deduced from a jotted heading on a lecture script) and and work. Less fully represented are his extensive travels for visits and conferences matics and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he died in 1969. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION The collection, which is substantial, covers most aspects of Davenport's life his work for the London Mathematical Society. H. Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 student, teacher, writer and researcher, are however very well documented and the collection as a whole is of pedagogical interest. Section A (Biographical and personal) includes Davenport's own unpublished reminiscences and reflections on his life's work, made shortly before his death with the assistance of his wife and his colleague D.J. Lewis (A.8 -A.10). Other docu- mentation on his career includes, unusually, his examination scripts and marks awarded at Manchester University in 1927, preserved by his principal tutor, L.J. Mordell (A.30, A.3]1). Section B (School and university notebooks and lecture notes) is an interesting record of the state of the art in mathematical teaching at Manchester 1924 - 27 (B.23 - B.54) and Cambridge 1927 - 32 (B.55 - B.92), comprising as it does notes, carefully taken and carefully preserved by Davenport, of lecture courses, class work and exercises. Section C (Lectures and addresses) is a substantial section representing Davenport's own contribution to the teaching of mathematics from the 1930s as a Research Fellow in Cambridge through his various university appointments and invitation lectures abroad, including the lectures at Michigan, later published in book form (C.115 - C.124). Several of these contain sets of problems and solutions, and some examination with permission on pp. 125-130. In addition, there is considerable material relating to work not listed in the made by C.A. Rogers, his research student, collaborator and eventual successor in 1958 as Astor Professor (C.167). School, Davenport's old school (C.131). Conversely, a new generation in the filiation material. Ona less technical note is the address given in 1947 at Accrington Grammar Section D (Publications) includes drafts, sometimes accompanied by correspondence papers. These have been linked wherever possible to the numbered list in the Bibliography of mathematics is represented by the notes on Davenport's lectures at London in 1946 with collaborators (see especially D.110-D.120) or publishers, for Davenport's many appended to the Royal Society Memoir by C.A. Rogers and others (Biographical Memoirs official bibliography; this includes Davenport's books on The higher arithmetic (D.89 - of Fellows of the Royal Society, 17, 1971); a copy of the Bibliography is reproduced D.92) and Multiplicative number theory (D.170 - D.182), book reviews (D.208), unpublished work (D.201 - D.203) and a posthumous publication (D.207). H. Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 Section E (Research notes and drafts) is so titled for convenience only. It contains a variety of material: paginated narrative sequences perhaps intended for lectures or papers, notes and calculations often on problems arising from work by others, and miscellaneous shorter unidentified notes. There is in consequence some potential overlap with other sections, notably Cand D. Off interest is the collaborative work with Helmut Hasse arising from Davenport's period in Marburg (E.1 - E.15). There are also Davenport's notes of lectures and talks by others (E.103 - E.126) which include mathematicians of an older generation (K. Mahler, L.J. Mordell, C.L. Siegel), friends and contemporaries (P. Erdés, H.A. Heilbronn), pupils and successors (B.J. Birch, J.W.S. Cassels, C.A. Rogers, K.F. Roth). Another interesting link in the pedagogic chain is J.E. Littlewood's extended list of 'Research Problems’ and Davenport's 'Comments' (E,131) Section F (Faculty of Mathematics, Cambridge) is relatively scanty but includes a little material on research, examinations and the newly-created Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Section G. (Correspondence) contains several substantial sequences, though the general practice of longhand correspondence often produces tantalising gaps. Once again, Davenport's links as student, teacher and collaborator with several generations G.278), among many others, indicate his continuing contributions. Special mention must be made of Davenport's close connection with German (G.208) show their recognition and fostering of Davenport's talent, and that with mathematicians, several of whom he met during his early visits to Marburg and elsewhere and whom he helped and encouraged when they were forced to emigrate. Corres- can be traced. Early correspondence with E.A. Milne (G.206) and L.J. Mordell pondence with H.A. Heilbronn (G.123 - G.142), H. Kober (G.165), K. Mahler (G.194 - E. Bombieri (G.28 - G.39), D.J. Lewis (G.175 - G.184) and C.A. Rogers (G.268 - elsewhere in the collection. language is evident both in the corres pondence and in the drafts for lectures and papers G.201), R. Rado (G.257) may be cited as examples. There is also correspondence with H. Hasse (G.116 - G.122) who remained in Germany. Davenport's command of the H.

Davenport usually labelled the fly-leaves with the name of the lecturer, the subject of the course, and the date. These labels are used here, and his descriptions are preserved in the entries. B.63 and B.64 are exceptions as they are without identification, but it is probable that they come from this period in Davenport's career. B.55 'Mr. Pollard Systems of orthogonal functions.

These are loose ms. pages of notes, chiefly of lectures attended by Davenport. Usually they bear the name of the lecturer and the title of the course, and some are dated. The material was kept in wallet folders labelled by Davenport; the contents have been removed and, where appropriate, preserved in more than one folder for ease of reference. The original folders are at B.89. B.80-B.84 are not lecture notes but were probably compiled from textbooks, while B.85- B.87 were probably originally made at Manchester and brought by Davenport to Cambridge for reference. B.65-B.72, B.78-B.84 are dated; the other notes are not, although they are probably of the 1927-29 Cambridge period.

Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 Lectures and addresses C.159-C.193 MISCELLANEOUS AND UNDATED LECTURES Included here are two collections of lecture material (C.159-C.170 and C.182- C.193) which have been kept together in the order in which they were found. The first of these collections is chiefly material concerning the geometry of numbers, while the second is far more miscellaneous in character, being mostly notes and calculations. C.171-C.181 consists of miscellaneous lectures which cannot be dated, although most have titles. C.159-C.170 'GofN lectures’. This collection of lecture notes was found together in a folder inscribed as above. Most deal with the geometry of numbers and some are dated (1946-59). They have been kept in their original order. Of particular interest is C.167, C.A. Rogers's notes of a course of lectures given by Davenport, and an account of the seminar and dis- cussion of the lectures. ce 159 "Marshall Hall's Theorem on Continued Fractions', n.d. 12pp. ms. draft, probably of a lecture, with Ip. ms. diagram. l6épp. ms. notes.

Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 SECTION D PUBLICATIONS D.1 - D.213 Davenport published nearly 200 papers, as well as three books. Most of the material in this Section consists of drafts of the published papers, frequently without any other material such as notes or calculations. In some cases however these do survive and in others there is more than one draft. Some correspondence is included here, for example, D.112 -D.116. The sequence incorporates material of other kinds, such as the Adams Prize Essay (D.5 - D.15), the books The higher arithmetic (D.89 - D 92) and Multiplicatative number theory (D.170 - D.182), reviews by Davenport (D.208), and some unpublished material, such as 'On writing mathematical papers' (D.201 - D.203). Material published after Davenport's death can be found at D.204 - D.207, and his ‘collected works' are represented at D.210 - D.213. The material has been arranged in chronological order, and where applicable the Bibliography number of the Royal Society Memoir has been given, as well as the date of publication.

Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 SECTION G CORRESPONDENCE G.1 - G.373 Although there are several substantial exchanges, many of the letters are incoming only, sometimes with a brief ms. note by Davenport of his reply (presumably sent in long- hand) on which ensuing correspondence may be based. The content is essentially mathematical though some personal news from Davenport's long-term friends, colleagues and pupils may be included. Of special interest are the extensive exchanges with E. Bombierj, H.A. Heilbronn, K. Mahler and L.J. Mordell, while no correspondence with G.H. Hardy, however brief, lacks its characteristic quality. Davenport's long association with German mathematicians, many of whom became refugees in British universities including Cambridge, is well documented; several of the sequences are wholly or partly in German. Mrs. Davenport's notes identifying correspondents and their connections with Davenport often accompany the letters and have been gratefully drawn upon in compiling the entries.
