Gresham College Lectures
The Mathematical World of C. L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)
•
Gresham College
BOOK LAUNCH
Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) is best known for his Alice books. But his day job was as a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church in Oxford. What mathematics was he interested in? - and how good a mathematician was he?
This illustrated lecture and book launch will attempt to answer these questions by outlining his mathematical life, labours and legacy in the context of Victorian Oxford.
A lecture by Professor Robin Wilson, Emeritus Gresham Professor of Geometry 21 October
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:
