Sir George Biddell Airy (1801 - 1892) was an English mathematician and astronomer. Airy is credited with research on planetary orbits, measuring the mean density of the Earth, and developing a method of solution of two-dimensional problems in solid mechanics. He worked with the Astronomer Royal in establishing Greenwich as the prime meridian.
