DESCRIPTION:George Ingram Taylor (Trinity undergraduate 1905-1
 908\; elected fellow 1910) was one of the most inf
 luential applied mathematicians of the 20th centur
 y\, who made a huge number of contributions to flu
 id and solid mechanics.\nThis talk will focus on t
 he significance\, for both Cambridge Mathematics a
 nd the world at large\,  of the work presented in 
 his Adams Prize Essay of 1915  on “Turbulent Motio
 n in Fluids”. Some of the key results presented in
  this essay\, the partial manuscript of which is h
 eld in the Trinity Library\, rely on  data taken b
 y Taylor himself on the first "Ice Patrol” cruise\
 , triggered by the tragedy of the sinking of the T
 itanic. The essay was actually written when Taylor
  was participating in the first world war effort d
 esigning aircraft at Farnborough for the precursor
  of the Royal Air Force\, and the talk will also c
 onsider the lasting influence on applied mathemati
 cs of Taylor’s philosophical approach to research.
