British mathematical physicist (*1793 – †1841)
George Green (July 14, 1793 – May 31, 1841) was a British mathematical physicist, who wrote An Essay on the Application 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 as currently used in physics, and the concept of what are now called Green's functions.
