Description: (Mathematician)
Joseph Proudman was a distinguished British mathematician and oceanographer known for his groundbreaking work on oceanic tides. His theoretical studies revolutionized the understanding of tidal phenomena, solving many complex problems within classical hydrodynamics and analytical mathematics. Proudman's collaboration with Arthur Doodson led to the development of a highly influential tidal prediction service of international significance. His contributions in the field of oceanography continue to shape research and practical applications related to tides and marine phenomena worldwide.
