MATHEMATICIANS GREAT BRITAIN BIOGRAPHY. AUTHORS, ENGLISH 19TH CENTURY MARRIED PEOPLE CHISHOLM, MONTY, Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 24 cm, ix, 198 pp. From the blurb: "This is the first biography of a mathematical genius and his literary wife. The story of their lives, works and friendships reflects the intellectual excitement and the social structure of the age in which they lived. William Clifford was a leading mathematician and an influential philosopher and FRS. A leading champion of Darwin’s evolutionary theory, and of scientific methods of reasoning, he sought an understanding of the nature of the universe of the human mind and morality. He was forty years ahead of Einstein in proposing the concept of curved space. Clifford Algebra, which is fundamental to Dirac's theory of the electron, has now become significant in many areas of mathematics, physics and engineering. Sir Roger Penrose O.M. has contributed a personal reflection on William Clifford’s mathematics. In 1874 Clifford married Lucy Lane, then already taking her first steps towards success as a novelist. During their four years of marriage, their Sunday salon attracted many famous scientific and literary personalities. After William’s early death, Lucy became a close friend and confidante of Henry James. Amongst her wide circle of friends were George Eliot, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, Olive Wendell Holmes Jr., Thomas Huxley, Leslie Stephen and Virginia Woolf." Spine slightly faded, otherwise Very Good.<
