Overview

Kirkman's work in the nineteenth century presaged many of the topics in modern Combinatorics. This book is a biography of Kirkman's life and it does not dwell on the technicalities of advanced mathematics, and hopefully it will appeal to the non-mathematician. This biography is the biography of a Victorian polymath active in mathematics, philosophy, as well as his being a social activist with controversial views.
