Sydney Goldstein FRS (3 December 1903, Kingston upon Hull – 22 January 1989, Cambridge, MA) was a British mathematician noted for his contribution to fluid dynamics.
He is described as: "...
one of those who most influenced progress in fluid dynamics during the 20th century."He was especially known for his work on steady-flow laminar boundary-layer equations and on the turbulent resistance to rotation of a disk in a fluid.
Goldstein was extremely knowledgeable on aerodynamics and his work had a significant impact in that area.
