Grimshaw, R. An analysis of the impact of T. M. Cherry’s work on asymptotic expansions. (English) Zbl 0674.01016 J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. B 30, No. 4, 378-388 (1989). Five papers (preparing the study of transonic gas flows) of the distinguished Australian mathematician T. M. Cherry, R. F. Langer’s works in this field and the scientific citations of these papers are carefully examined to get a historical perspective.
