Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics is an endowed professorial position in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, England. The chair was founded by an endowment of £3,600 from one John Richardson, in 1890. The endowment was originally used to support the Richardson Lectureship in Mathematics. One holder of the Richardson Lectureship was John Edensor Littlewood (1907-1910). The current holder (since 1998) is Nicholas Higham.
The School of Mathematics has three endowed chairs, the others being the Beyer Chair and the Fielden Chair of Pure Mathematics.
