He was born in Edinburgh on May 2, 1860 and died on June 21, 1948 at his house in St Andrews. His professorship at the University College of Dundee, and then at St Andrews holds the record for the longest tenure of any academic (64 yrs.) and is unlikely to be broken due to modern employment legislation. Most consider Thompson’s greatest work to be On Growth and Form, a book in which he explores in great detail the mathematical patterns that can be found in nature. His use of Cartesian grid transformations in modelling evolutionary processes is still an area of modern research. Thompson’s influence has been wide-reaching: from inspiring the likes of Alan Turing’s morphology research to playing a key role in the development of 3D animation. <p>To see more information on the work and impact of Sir Thompson, click <a href="https://maths.curious-sta.org/the-work-and-impact-of-sir-darcy-wentworth-thompson/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource jb402@st-andrews.ac.uk Subject The topic of the resource Mathematics,Natural History Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.

Although St Mary’s College was streamlined specifically for the study of Theology since 1579, it has also been home to a rich history in Mathematics. Mathematician and astronomer James Gregory (1638-1675) used the upper hall of the University library (King James Library) near St Mary’s as an observatory. There, he also developed one of the earliest and most accurate meridian lines nearly 200 years prior to the Greenwich Meridian’s establishment. Gregory also designed the first practical reflecting telescope. The College has also housed theology students who were distinguished in Mathematics. These include former Regius Professor of Mathematics Robert Haldane (1772 – 1854) and John Playfair (1748 – 1819), known for his work in geology and Euclidean geometry. <p>For further information on St Mary's College and its mathematics history see <a href="https://maths.curious-sta.org/st-marys-college/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.</p> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource jb402@st-andrews.ac.uk Subject The topic of the resource Astronomy,Geology,Mathematics Europeana Specific elements of the Europeana Semantic Elements.
