| History:
The
Department
of Mathematics dates back to the original Charter from King
William
and
Queen
Mary on February 6, 1693. Mathematics was represented by one
of the
six
Masters
or Professors, and when the full faculty was assembled in 1729, the
original
masterships
were in Divinity, Philosophy, Oriental Languages, Mathematics, the
Grammar
School
and
the
Indian School.
The
first professor
on record was Hugh Jones who was on the faculty from 1716-1729.
He
is the
namesake of the present site of the department: the first floor of Hugh
Jones Hall.
Here
is a complete
list of faculty members of the department since 1716 to current.
