Professor Ian Stewart to give 2009 Annual Lecture

We're delighted to announce that Professor Ian Stewart, FRS is to give the Society's 2009 Sixth Annual Lecture, provisionally entitled After Darwin's Watch.

A prolific author for the lay-reader as well as a world-renown mathematician specialising in fiendishly difficult fields in maths such as topology, Ian Stewart has often appeared on radio and TV, and gave the Royal Institution 1997 Christmas Lectures.

He is aptly qualified to give this Lecture in the 200th anniversary year of Charles Darwin's birth, having written widely on the subject of evolution, including co-authoring the Science of Discworld series with Lunarman Jack Cohen and Terry Pratchett, the last of which was called . . . Darwin's Watch.
