"Some time ago, I attended an interesting short conference on Greenwich: some Mathematical Connections . I am delighted that this has inspired the present volume, Mathematics at the Meridian: The History of Mathematics at Greenwich , that features many of the same eminent contributors. Greenwich has a unique status in Britain, rightly recognised as a World Heritage Site: a centre for shipping and navigation, astronomy and education, and an architectural treasure. This book comprehensively explores the important role of mathematics in its long history. From John Flamsteed, the first Astronomer Royal at the 'King's Observatory' who compiled reliable astronomical tables, to his successors, Nevil Maskelyne and George Biddell Airy, there was strong emphasis on accurate computation alongside precise observations. In more recent times, L.J. Comrie oversaw the mechanical production of mathematical tables. The Greenwich Royal Hospital School and Greenwich Naval College educated the youth, and several professors did notable research, particularly Thomas Archer Hirst and William Burnside. In its twelve chapters, this book gives a comprehensive, scholarly and readable overview of Greenwich and its mathematical, astronomical and computational achievements. As a bonus, it is attractively illustrated with numerous portraits and other images." -- Emeritus Professor Alexander Craik, University of St Andrews From the building of the Royal Observatory in the 1670s, to the 21st century mathematics department at the University, Mathematics at the Meridian: The History of Mathematics at Greenwich shows that Greenwich has a long, varied and important mathematical history. It is a history which, amongst other things, encompasses the longitude problem, calculating machines and mathematical instruments, and major figures including John Flamsteed, George Biddell Airy, Thomas Archer Hirst and William Burnside. Raymond Flood, Tony Mann and Mary Coarken have brought together a group of authors who are both experts in their fields and excellent communicators to produce a wonderful edited volume. Mathematics at the Meridian is a treasure trove for anyone interested in mathematics, astronomy and their history. --Dr Mark McCartney, Senior Lecturer in Mathematics, Ulster University "I can thoroughly recommend this book for anybody interested in any of the diverse topic covered however, despite what at first glance, might appear as a somewhat specialised book, I can also recommend it for the more general reader interested in the histories of mathematics, astronomy and navigation or those perhaps interested in the cultural history of one of London's most fascinating district. After all mathematics, astronomy and navigation are all parts of human culture." --Thony Christie, "Some time ago, I attended an interesting short conference on Greenwich: some Mathematical Connections .
