William Galbraith (mathematician)

His pupil William Rutherford walked long distances to attend his school at Eccles.

[6] A paper on the locations of places on the River Clyde was recognised in 1837 by a gold medal, from the Society for the Encouragement of the Useful Arts for Scotland.

[7] Galbraith followed with detailed Remarks on the Geographical Position of some Points on the West Coast of Scotland (1838).

[3] Galbraith was buried with his wife in the north-east section of the Grange Cemetery in Edinburgh.

[9] Galbraith's major works combined textbook material with mathematical tables: He edited John Ainslie's 1812 treatise on land surveying (1849),[13] and with William Rutherford revised John Bonnycastle's Algebra.
