Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) is best known for his ‘Alice’ books. But his ‘day job’ was as a mathematics lecturer at Christ Church in Oxford. What mathematics was he interested in? – and how good a mathematician was he? This illustrated lecture and book launch will attempt to answer these questions by outlining his mathematical life, labours and legacy in the context of Victorian Oxford.
