Augustus Edward Hough Love (17 April1863 in Weston-super-Mare - 5 June1940 in Oxford) was a mathematician famous for his work on the mathematical theory of elasticity. He also worked on wave propagation and his work on the structure of the Earth in Some Problems in Geodynamics won for him the Adams prize in 1911 when he developed a mathematical model of surface waves known as Love waves.
