The Gresham Professorship in Geometry

摘要

One of my more dubious claims to fame is that I am (currently) the oldest maths professor in the country. Surely not, I hear you cry, you look so young! But no, it's true. Of course what I really mean is that I hold the longest established chair in maths in the UK. This is the Gresham Professorship of Geometry, and I hold it (unsurprisingly) at Gresham College, Barnard's Inn Hall, London.
