The Great Mathematicians
A lecture to mark the publication of Robin Wilson and Raymond Flood’s new book. Mathematics pervades our daily lives. Our credit cards and the nation’s defence are kept secure largely due to the properties of prime numbers, and mathematics is intimately involved whenever we fly in an aeroplane, predict the weather or analyse data. But what mathematics is involved, and who first introduced it? Raymond Flood and Robin Wilson describe some interesting mathematicians’ contributions.
