Robin Wilson received his Ph.D degree from the University of
Pennsylvania for a thesis on number theory. He is an Emeritus
Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Open University, Emeritus
Professor of Geometry at Gresham College, London, and a former
Fellow of Keble College, Oxford University. He is also a Visiting
Professor at the LSE. A former President of the British Society for
the History of Mathematics, he has written and edited over 40 books
on the subject,
including Lewis Carroll in Numberland (Penguin, 2008), Four Colours
Suffice (Princeton University Press, 2009), Combinatorics: A Very
Short Introduction (OUP, 2016), and Euler's Pioneering Equation
(OUP,
2018). He has been awarded the Mathematical Association of
America's Lester Ford award and Pólya prize for his 'outstanding
expository writing', and the Stanton Medal for outreach activities
in combinatorics by the Institute of Combinatorics and its
Applications. He has Erdős Number 1.
