The Royal Irish Academy presents

The Hamilton Lecture 2021,

‘Glimpses into Hyperbolic Geometry’

by Professor Caroline Series, University of Warwick



Every year the Royal Irish Academy and the Maths community around 
Ireland celebrates Hamilton Day;

/Hamilton Day commemorates a ground-breaking discovery by one of 
Ireland’s most famous scientists. On 16 October 1843, William Rowan 
Hamilton discovered quaternion algebra while walking along the Royal 
Canal from Dunsink Observatory to the Royal Irish Academy. This was one 
of those very rare Eureka moments in the history of science. So excited 
was he by his discovery that he scratched his equation on the wall of 
Broome Bridge, Cabra./

This year we are delighted to have famous mathematician Professor 
Caroline Series FRS, University of Warwick, giving a*free online 
lecture*on ‘Glimpses into Hyperbolic Geometry’. The lecture will be 
accessible to all and viewers will have a chance to submit a question to 
the chair.

Friday, 15 October 2021 at 19:00 (UTC+1)

Professor Series will deliver this online lecture live from Trinity 
College Dublin. Professor Martin Mathieu, MRIA, Queen’s University 
Belfast will chair the lecture and Q&A session.

‘Glimpses into Hyperbolic geometry’

It is some two hundred years since the discovery of non-Euclidean or 
hyperbolic geometry; geometry in which the angles in a triangle sum to 
less than two right angles. Hyperbolic geometry has seen great flowering 
in the last forty years, bringing it right into the mainstream of 
mathematics. We offer some glimpses into these developments, in 
particular some astonishingly beautiful computer graphics.
