Geometry and Astronomy in New College, Oxford

Geometry and Astronomy in New College, Oxford is published today to celebrate the quatercentenary of the Savilian Professorships, 1619-2019, at the University of Oxford.

Edited by William Poole and Christopher Skelton-Foord, and designed by Colin Dunn, the book tells the dual history of astronomy and geometry from the late 14th century to the present day in New College, Oxford, and also of the professors over the past 400 years who have led research and teaching in these mathematical disciplines within both the University and the College.

Gorgeously designed, with thread-sewn binding and French flaps, this book is printed on Mohawk Superfine paper and illustrated with images from the remarkable geometry and astronomy collections of New College Library.
