Mathematics at Glasgow: From the foundation of the University until now

On Monday 4th September, an exhibition entitled “Mathematics at Glasgow: From the foundation of the University until now” was held in the University Library. The purpose was to celebrate the new Mathematics and Statistics building by looking at the history of how mathematics was taught at Glasgow. After a catered reception and some words of welcome from the Head of School, attendees journeyed up to Special Collections to view works spanning the history of the University: from a copy of Euclid’s Elements from 1480 to University Exams from 1914.
