He Was Known For Work In Applying The Method Of Asymptotic Expansion To Fluid Mechanics Problems.[3] Several Of His Works Have Become Classics, Including "Matched Asymptotic Expansions: Ideas And Techniques". In 1946, Lagerstrom Was Recruited By Hans Liepmann To The Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory At Caltech.[5] He Was Later Promoted To Professor Of Aeronautics In 1952 And Professor Of Applied Mathematics In 1967, Having Departed Only Briefly To The University Of Paris In 1960-1961 As Visiting Professor On A Guggenheim Fellowship.
