Why Is James Lighthill Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sir Michael James Lighthill was a British applied mathematician, known for his pioneering work in the field of aeroacoustics and for writing the Lighthill report which pessimistically stated that "In no part of the field have the discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised" contributing to the gloomy climate of AI winter.
