Catalogue of the papers and correspondence of HAROLD DAVENPORT FRS; (1907 - 1969)

Title	MISCELLANEOUS AND UNDATED LECTURES
Reference	C.159-C.193

Content and context

Included here are collections of lecture material (C.159-C.170 and C.182-C.193) which have been kept together in the order in which they were found. The first of these collections is chiefly material concerning the geometry of numbers, while the second is far more miscellaneous in character, being mostly notes and calculations. C.171-C.181 consists of miscellaneous lectures which cannot be dated, although most have titles.
