A lot of people don’t know that Lewis Caroll (actually, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was also a mathematician. And although I enjoyed reading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at least three times until now, I needed this note to the light.

Two of his most well-known works are An Elementary Treatise on Determinants, and a two-volume book on symbolic logic (which was called, as I remember, just like that — Symbolic Logic).
He also wrote a book that laid somewhere between mathematics and philosophy, called Euclid and his Modern Rivals, in which he surveyed some of the most recent (at his time) developments in geometry, showing that, in terms of functionality, they are inferior or identical to Euclid’s.
As a marginal note though, there are a lot of mathematicians who didn’t have famous theories, didn’t solve famous problems and had no groundbreaking contribution to mathematics. And who didn’t get their degrees online either
