Hugh MacColl’s contributions to the Educational Times

There were over nineteen hundred contributors to the mathematical department of the Educational Times during its sixty-seven-year existence. The monthly column contained problems and their solutions, brief articles, and often short accounts of the most recent meeting of the London Mathematical Society. Hugh MacColl (1837-1909), a teacher and tutor, was one of the more prolific contributors to the department. He submitted his contributions from Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. His expertise was mainly in geometric probability, standard probability, and logic. After a brief history of the mathematical department of the Educational Times and some of Carroll’s correspondence with the editor, W. J. C. Miller, we highlight MacColl’s contributions to the journal.
