Archibald Read Richardson FRS[1] (21 August 1881 – 4 November 1954) was a British mathematician known for his work in algebra.[2][3][4]
Richardson collaborated with Dudley E. Littlewood on invariants and group representation theory. They introduced the immanant of a matrix, studied Schur functions and developed the Littlewood–Richardson rule for their multiplication.
