Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 GENERAL INTRODUCTION PROVE NANCE 4 The material was received from Mrs. Davenport at various dates 1983 - 84. A little additional material was received from Professor B.J. Birch in 1986. OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF HAROLD DAVENPORT Davenport was born and educated in Accrington, wherehis gifts for mathe- matics and chemistry were early recognised. At the age of sixteen he was awarded scholarships to attend Manchester University (1924 - 27) winningfirst-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 eventof 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 His first university post was a return to Manchester learn the language thoroughly. as Assistant Lecturer (1937 - 41) and in 1941 he was appointedto his first Chair at In 1945 Davenport, who had married University College of North Wales, Bangor. Anne Lofthouse in 1944, moved to University College London as Astor Professor. first American visit, to Stanford in 1947 - 48, occurred during the London period and was followed by many later transatlantic journeys of varying duration. from the Mathematics Department of University College that Davenport launched the His It was also new journal Mathematika (1953). In 1958 he was elected Rouse Ball Professor of Mathe- 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 Less fully represented are his extensive travels for visits and conferences and work. (which can sometimes only be deduced from a jotted heading on a lecture script) and His contributions to his subject, as his work for the London Mathematical Society. H. Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 5 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 Section A (Biographical and personal) includes Davenport's own unpublished reminiscences and reflections on his life's work, made shortly before his death with the assistance of his wife and his colleague D.J. Lewis (A.8-A.10).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.31). 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 material. Ona less technical note is the address given in 1947 at Accrington Grammar School, Davenport's old school (C.131). Conversely, a new generation in the filiation of mathematics is represented by the notes on Davenport's lectures at London in 1946 made by C.A. Rogers, his research student, collaborator and eventual successor in 1958 as Astor Professor (C.167). Section D (Publications) includes drafts, sometimes accompanied by correspondence with collaborators (see especially D.110-D.120) or publishers, for Davenport's many papers. These have been linked wherever possible to the numbered list in the Bibliography appended to the Royal Society Memoir by C.A. Rogers and others (Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, 17, 1971); a copy of the Bibliography is reproduced with permission on pp. 125-130. In addition, there is considerable material relating to work not listed in the official bibliography; this includes Davenport's books on The higher arithmetic (D.89 - 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 6 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. Of 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 can be traced. Early correspondence with E.A. Milne (G.206) and L.J. Mordell (G.208) show their recognition and fostering of Davenport's talent, and that with E. Bombieri (G.28 - G.39), D.J. Lewis (G.175 - G.184) and C.A. Rogers (G.268 - G.278), among many others, indicate his continuing contributions. Special mention must be made of Davenport's close connection with German 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 pondence with H.A. Heilbronn (G.123 - G.142), H. Kober (G.165), K. Mahler (G.194 - 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 language is evident both in the corres pondence and in the drafts for lectures and papers elsewhere in the collection. H.

Davenport CSAC 112/3/86 Lectures and addresses 50 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. Thefirst 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 'G of 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 keptin their original order.

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 howeverthese do survive and in others there is more than one draft. Some correspondenceis 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 95 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. Bombieri, H.A. Heilbronn, K. Mahler and L.J. Mordell, while no correspondence with G.H. Hardy, howeverbrief, lacks its characteristic quality. Davenport's long association with German mathematicians, many of whom became refugeesin 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.
