Why Is Percy Alexander MacMahon Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Percy Alexander MacMahon was an English mathematician, especially noted in connection with the partitions of numbers and enumerative combinatorics. Early life Percy MacMahon was born in Malta to a British military family. His father was a colonel at the time, retired in the rank of the brigadier. MacMahon attended the Proprietary School in Cheltenham. At the age of 14 he won a Junior Scholarship to Cheltenham College, which he attended as a day boy from 10 February 1868 until December 1870. At the age of 16 MacMahon was admitted to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich and passed out after two years.
