Lewis Carroll in Numberland: his fantastical mathematical logical life
Lewis Carroll's books have delighted children and adults for generations, but behind their exuberant fantasy and delightful nonsense was the mind of a brilliant mathematician.
Now his forgotten achievements in the world of numbers are brought to light by author and mathematician Robin Wilson. Here he explores the curious imagination of a man whose pioneering work at Oxford University included investigations into voting patterns and tennis seeding, who dreamed up numerical conundrums in bed at night and who filled his writings with problems, paradoxes, puzzles and teasing games of logic.
