Why Is Samuel Hawksley Burbury Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Samuel Hawksley Burbury, FRS was a British mathematician. Life He was born on 18 May 1831 at Kenilworth, the only son of Samuel Burbury of Clarendon Square, Leamington, by Helen his wife. He was educated at Shrewsbury School , where he was head boy, and at St. John's College, Cambridge. At the university he won exceptional distinction in both classics and mathematics. He was twice Person prizeman , Craven university scholar , and chancellor's classical medallist . He graduated B.A. as fifteenth wrangler and second classic in 1854, becoming fellow of his college in the same year; he proceeded M.A. in 1857.
