BiographyHowarth was educated at Accrington Grammar School, from where he moved to University of Manchester with Sydney Goldstein and then at the University of Cambridge (Caius and Gonville College) with a bachelor's degree in 1933 and a doctorate at Goldstein in 1936.

After the war, he was a lecturer at St John's College, Cambridge, where Abdus Salam was one of his students, and from 1949 Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol . In 1964 he became Henry Overton Wills Professor and Head of the Mathematics Faculty. From 1957 to 1960 he was dean of the Faculty of Science. In 1976 he became emeritus professor. ResearchHaworth dealt especially with boundary layer theory. A work with Theodore von Kármán in 1938 was about isotropic turbulence, in connection with G. I. Taylor.
