Mary Taylor Slow (15 July 1898 – 26 May 1984) was a British physicist who worked on the theory of radio waves and the application of differential equations to physics.
During this time she became interested in the theory of radio waves and started to conduct research under the guidance of Edward Appleton who was then assistant demonstrator in experimental physics at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge.
Taylor was awarded a Yarrow Research Fellowship which enabled her to remain at Göttingen and continue her work on electromagnetic waves with Professor Richard Courant.
[1][2] In 1934 Taylor married Ernest Clive Slow; under the Civil Service Rules of the time this meant that she had to leave her post at the Radio Research Station.
At some point Clive Slow took up a post in the Air Defence Research and Development Establishment, and the family moved to Malvern.
