Prof. Sarah Hart
On 7 February 2024 the 5h Annual Charlotte Scott Lecture in Mathematics was given in Isaac Newton building of University of Lincoln by Professor Sarah Hart, Gresham Professor of Geometry, President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics. This series of public lectures is named after Charlotte Scott (1858–1931), the famous mathematician born in Lincoln, who was also influential in developing mathematical education of women and their participation in mathematical research. The lecture “The beautiful links between mathematics and literature” explored numerous fundamental, and often unexpected, connections between mathematics and literature. The lecture attracted a big audience consisting of staff, students and members of the public, both from Lincoln and other cities, and was a great success.
The proceedings were started by Head of School of Mathematics and Physics Professor Andrei Zvelindovsky. Before the lecture, Professor Evgeny Khukhro announced the winners of the Lincoln Mathematics Challenge-2023-24 and presented the trophies. The audience gave generous rounds of applause to the talented young mathematicians, whose moments of glory were shared with their parents. Then Prof. Hart proceeded with her fascinating lecture to the delight of the public.
