There has been much recent interest in the mathematical activities of C. L. Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), especially with the publication of Dodgson’s diaries and my popular paperback, ‘Lewis Carroll in Numberland’ which described his mathematical ‘day job’ in the context of Victorian Oxford and his role as Mathematical Lecturer at Christ Church. But for some time there’s been a need for a more serious single-volume book that covers all aspects of his mathematical activities, written by experts from around the world, and this was achieved in February with the publication of this book by Oxford University Press edited by Robin Wilson and Amirouche Moktefi.

This talk will outline his mathematical career and specifically his work in geometry, algebra, logic, voting theory and recreational mathematics, and will be followed by an opportunity to acquire the book at a reduced cost.
