Book Description
Approximately 35 letters, pamphlets, booklets, and leaflets are reprinted here. Written between 1860 and 1897, some are attributed to Dodgson, some to Lewis Carroll, and others to Phayllus, East Sheen, Sir John Lubbock, Arthur Cohen, W.C. Sidgwick, F.R.C., G.A. Simcox, Lord Salisbury, and Dynamite--but they are all the work of one man. The brief pieces discuss fair elections, proportional representation, political humor, and sports (especially lawn tennis). Mathematical and statistical issues are placed in the foreground. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
The Mathematical World of Charles L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)
Author: Robin WilsonPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192549014
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson is best known for his 'Alice' books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, written under his pen name of Lewis Carroll. Yet, whilst lauded for his work in children's fiction and his pioneering work in the world of Victorian photography, his everyday job was a lecturer in Mathematics at Christ Church, Oxford University. The Mathematical World of Charles L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) explores the academic background behind this complex individual, outlining his mathematical life, describing his writings in geometry, algebra, logic, the theory of voting, and recreational mathematics, before going on to discuss his mathematical legacy. This is the first academic work that collects the research on Dodgson's wide-ranging mathematical achievements into a single practical volume. Much material appears here for the first time, such as Dodgson's personal letters and drawings, as well as the results of recent investigations into the life and work of Dodgson. Complementing this are many illustrations, both historical and explanatory, as well as a full mathematical bibliography of Dodgson's mathematical publications.

Book Description
“A fine mathematical biography.”—John Allen Paulos, New York Times Book Review Just when we thought we knew everything about Lewis Carroll, here comes this “insightful . . . scholarly . . . serious” (John Butcher, American Scientist) biography that will appeal to Alice fans everywhere. Fascinated by the inner life of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Robin Wilson, a Carroll scholar and a noted mathematics professor, has produced this revelatory book—filled with more than one hundred striking and often playful illustrations—that examines the many inspirations and sources for Carroll’s fantastical writings, mathematical and otherwise. As Wilson demonstrates, Carroll made significant contributions to subjects as varied as voting patterns and the design of tennis tournaments, in the process creating large numbers of imaginative recreational puzzles based on mathematical ideas.
