Richard Pendlebury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Pendlebury (1847, Liverpool – 1902) was a British mathematician, musician and bibliophile.

He went up to St John's College, Cambridge in 1866 and graduated senior wrangler in 1870: he was then elected to a college fellowship. He was appointed University Lecturer in Mathematics in 1888. He collected early mathematical books and printed music, donating his collections to his college and university. His presentation of a collection of music books and manuscripts to the Fitzwilliam Museum stimulated the formation of the Music Faculty.
