Before I say something stupid, wasn't Roger Penrose also Rouse Ball Professor (1973-1998)? JFW | T@lk 16:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Both Oxford & Cambridge have Rouse Ball Professors of Mathematics?

Nigel Hitchin is Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics, Cambridge University, from 1994 to 1997 [1];
Roger Penrose is Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford, from 1973 [2], becoming Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics in 1998 [3], see also the dust jacket of his book _The Road to Reality_. Chanjim 08:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
