摘要

加文-布朗是一位杰出的数学家，在苏格兰出生并接受教育。他于 1975 年移居澳大利亚，是新南威尔士大学谐波分析领域的主要贡献者。在成为澳大利亚皇家学会创始会长之前，加文曾担任阿德莱德大学和悉尼大学的副校长。当布朗于 2010 年圣诞节在阿德莱德去世时，我们失去了一位杰出的学术和研究数学家，一位对澳大利亚教育和社会做出巨大贡献的人，一位慷慨大方、极富幽默感的人。

Gavin Brown: 1942–2010

Gavin Brown was a distinguished mathematician, born and educated in Scotland. He moved to Australia in 1975 and was a key contributor to the area of harmonic analysis at the University of New South Wales. Gavin’s career saw him become vice-chancellor of both the University of Adelaide and the University of Sydney, before he became the founding president of the Royal Institution of Australia. When Brown died in Adelaide on Christmas Day 2010, we lost a distinguished academic and research mathematician, a huge contributor to Australian education and society and a generous human being with a wonderful sense of humour.

期刊介绍： Historical Records of Australian Science is a bi-annual journal that publishes two kinds of unsolicited manuscripts relating to the history of science, pure and applied, in Australia, New Zealand and the southwest Pacific. Historical Articles–original scholarly pieces of peer-reviewed research Historical Documents–either hitherto unpublished or obscurely published primary sources, along with a peer-reviewed scholarly introduction. The first issue of the journal (under the title Records of the Australian Academy of Science), appeared in 1966, and the current name was adopted in 1980.
