- Frank_Matthews_Leslie abstract "Frank Matthews Leslie FRS (8 March 1935–June 15 2000) was a mathematical physicist specializing in continuum mechanics. He is remembered for the Ericksen–Leslie theory he developed with Jerald Ericksen to describe the viscosity of mesophases associated with liquid crystals. The parameters of this theory are viscosities called "Leslie coefficients".F.M. Leslie was born 8 March 1935 to William Oglivy Leslie and his wife Catherine Pitkethy Matthews of Dundee, Scotland. His maternal grandfather Frank Rollo Matthews (1860 to 1921) was a bibliophile, acquiring a considerable library that the family treasured. Frank Leslie attended Harris Academy and University College, Dundee where he was awarded the B.Sc. in 1957. With a scholarship from the legacy of James Key Caird, he entered the University of Manchester for graduate study. Leslie’s gifts for communication were soon appreciated as he became assistant lecturer in 1959. The mathematics department at University of Manchester was led by James Lighthill who had pioneered an understanding of thermosyphons. Leslie extended the work with his thesis "Problems of flow in the open thermosyphon and viscoelasticity of liquids" (1961). The external examiner was James G. Oldroyd, a viscoelasticity authority.As a post-doctoral student, Leslie continued his education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Being interested in anisotropic fluids, he wrote to Jerald Ericksen who was at Johns Hopkins University. The collaboration with Ericksen grew from that time. A position at Newcastle University provided the setting for Leslie to begin communicating his ideas. In December 1965 his important paper "Continuum theory of Liquid Crystals" appeared in Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society (60:949–55) in which he posited a "director" vector field characterizing an anisotropic fluid.In 1965 Leslie married Ellen Reoch; husband and wife crossed the Atlantic so Leslie and Ericksen could continue their collaboration at Johns Hopkins. Frank and Ellen had a daughter Sheena (born 1969) and a son Calum (born 1974). Frank and Ellen enjoyed playing golf.Frank Leslie took up his permanent position at Strathclyde University in 1968, becoming a reader in 1971 and holding chairs from 1979 and 1982. There he was able to host academic visitors such as Ericksen. As Chandrasekhar writes,...the formulation of general conservation laws and constitutive equations describing the mechanical behaviour of the nematic state is due to Ericksen and Leslie. Other continuum theories have been proposed, but it turns out that the Ericksen-Leslie approach is the one that is most widely used in discussing the nematic state.In the mid 1970s he consulted for Defence Evaluation and Research Agency at Malvern, Worcestershire with Cyril Hilsum in support of British LCD industries. Leslie demonstrated his commitment to mathematics education by serving as tutor for 20 years for the Open University. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1995. He was justice of the peace for 15 years in Bearsden and Milngavie. Leslie supported the Scottish National Party and was treasurer of the party for 14 years. He viewed Scotland as part of Europe. Further, in 1971 Leslie was elected Elder in the Church of Scotland.F.M. Leslie died June 15, 2000, of a pulmonary embolism after a hip replacement operation.".
