MATH RIMS

ＣＯＥ特別講義 講 師 : Alexander D.D. Craik 氏 (University of St Andrews) 日 時 : ０７年 ５月１８日（金）１６：００〜１７：００ 場 所 : 工学部１０号館１階　第１講義室 題 目 : Portraits of Cambridge wranglers 内 容 : Rather attractive colour portraits of Cambridge graduates taught by William Hopkins, with brief biographies. They include Stokes, William Thomson (Kelvin), Cayley and other prominent mathematicians and physicists. I have spoken about this at a BSHM (British Society of History of Mathematics) meeting in December 2006. William Hopkins (1793 - 1866) was a remarkable private tutor at Cambridge. Though not a college fellow, during 1828-1860 he dominated the teaching of the university. A “mature student”, he graduated as 7th wrangler in 1827 (when Augustus De Morgan was 4th). Hopkins possessed an album of pencil and watercolour portraits of his most successful pupils, now in the Wren Library of Trinity College. Covering the years 1829-1852, these portraits are the 19th-century equivalents of modern graduation photographs. The artist of most (perhaps all) was Thomas Charles Wageman.
