In addition, mathematician Thomas Banchoff reflects on the friendship he shared with Dal? and explores the mathematical undercurrents in Dal?’s work.Lewis Carroll was the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–98), a British writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon, and photographer. His best-known works are Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.
