View through CrossRef
This chapter sets the scene for the rest of the book by outlining the main aspects of Dodgson’s mathematical life and activities. It is divided into his early years as the son of an Anglican clergyman, his time as an undergraduate studying Classics and mathematics at Oxford, his life as an Oxford lecturer at Christ Church, his life outside mathematics (including his interest in photography and his writing of children’s books), his mathematical writings and college life, and his final years. It concludes with a brief discussion of Dodgson as a mathematician in the context of Victorian mathematics in England at the time.
