Excited to be talking at a celebration of Stokes, whose 200th birthday occurred recently. My talk: "How Sir George Gabriel Stokes nearly discovered the renormalization group", regarding his prescient studies of asymptotics & divergent series

Replying to @NigelGoldenfeld
What's a good (i.e., pedagogical) place to read about the relationship between asymptotics and the RG? I believe it's not widely appreciated enough that this relationship (and RG itself) is not necessarily quantum in nature.

I don't know if there are newer sources, but Chen, Goldenfeld and Oono, PRE 54, 376 (1996) http://guava.physics.uiuc.edu/%7Enigel/REPRINTS/1996/Chen%20Renormalization%20group%20and%20singular%20perturbations%20PRE%201996%20(PDF).pdf … is worth the read!
