Who was Richardson's extrapolation named after? What are some of his significant contributions from his work in mathematics and/or related fields? Be sure to include at least one citation and...

1) Richardson’s extrapolation was named after one of the greatest English mathematician “Lewis
Fry Richardson”. He was not only a great mathematician but also a great physist and
metrologist.
Contributions of Richardson:
a) Richardson is mainly known for his weather predictions. In the year 1922 he published
“Weather Prediction by Numerical Analysis”. It was a tremendous work keeping in mind that
fast computing was unavailable that time. So while just solving the differential equations he
did it. I would like to quote Richardson himself
"Big whorls have little whorls
that feed on their velocity,
and little whorls have lesser whorls
