Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) was a renowned English writer, mathematician, and photographer. He graduated with first class honours in mathematics from Christ Church College, Oxford and held the Mathematical Lectureship there for over 25 years. A daughter of the college dean, Alice Liddell, convinced him to write the stories he would narrate to them during their outings. Carroll obliged and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland resulted (1865). His other famous works are Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871; a sequel) and mathematical writings like ‘An Elementary Treatise on Determinants’ (1867) and ‘Curiosa Mathematica’ (1888). He also authored The Hunting of the Snark (1876) and Sylvie and Bruno (1889) and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1993)
