    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Born in Berlin in 1911, Walter Ledermann was a German mathematician. Being Jewish, Ledermann received a scholarship from the International Student Services to study in St Andrews in 1934, effectively fleeing the rising Nazism and antisemitism in Germany at the time. Ledermann received his PhD from St Andrews in 1936 and upon his graduation, became a lecturer in the University’s Mathematical Institute until 1946. Ledermann was also an advocate for greater economic accessibility within mathematics, publishing his own series of affordable textbooks, titled the Library of Mathematics. After teaching at the Universities of Manchester and Sussex, Ledermann retired in 1978 and died in London in 2009. ]]></dcterms:description>
