Edward Routh

Edward John Routh FRS (/raʊθ/; 20 January 1831 – 7 June 1907), was an English mathematician, noted as the outstanding coach of students preparing for the Mathematical Tripos examination of the University of Cambridge in its heyday in the middle of the nineteenth century.

He also did much to systematise the mathematical theory of mechanics and created several ideas critical to the development of modern control systems theory.
