Celebration of Science – Alice in Numberland

An afternoon exploring the mathematical allusions in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland – the Rev’d Charles Dodgson’s application of mathematical theory – Condorcet’s jury theorem, and paradox  – to cast light on issues as varied as elections, the seeding system used at Wimbledon, and Carroll’s contribution to symbolic logic.

The session will end with afternoon tea.

The session will be led by:

•  Professor Robin Wilson, President of the Mathematical History Society, formerly Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Open University and former Gresham Professor of Geometry.
