MacTutor Index

MacTutor is a free online resource containing biographies of more than 3000 mathematicians and over 2000 pages of essays and supporting materials.

MacTutor is constantly expanding and developing.

Recent changes to the archive (Up to DECEMBER 2023)

include 17 Extended Biographies of mathematicians who have won major prizes since we wrote the earlier version of their biography, as well as 21 New Entries in the Additional Material category.

We have added about 200 extra stamps to our collection of mathematician postage stamps.

MacTutor was created and is maintained by Edmund Robertson and John O'Connor of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews, and is hosted by the University.
Their contributions to the history of mathematics have been recognised by the Comenius medal of the Hungarian Comenius Society in 2012 and the Hirst Prize of the London Mathematical Society in 2015.
