Explanation:
On July 1 physicist Michael Cates will be the 19th person to sit in what is perhaps the most prestigious “chair” in science when he assumes the post of the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University.
Although sometimes called “Newton’s chair” after its most famous holder, Sir Isaac was not the only brilliant mind, nor the most colourful individual, to occupy the post.
The Lucasian Chair was founded in 1663 at the bequest of Henry Lucas (1640-1648), who was a member of Parliament for Cambridge University. In his will, he provided “a yearly stipend and salarie for a professor […] of mathematicall sciences in the said Vniversitie” to “honor that greate body” and assist “that parte of learning which hitherto hath not bin provided for”.
The Lucasian Chair has been held by a fascinating procession of scientists, including
Physicist and mathematician Issac Newton (who held the chair from 1669 to 1702)
Astronomer George Biddell Airy (1826 to 1828)
Mathematician and computing pioneer Charles Babbage (1828 to 1839)
Physicist and mathematician George Stokes (1849 to 1903)
Physicist Paul Dirac (1932 to 1969)
Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking (1979 to 2009) and most recently,
Theoretical physicist Michael Green (2009 to 2015).
