For those who believe not maybe someone can live in the world of creative arts and disciplines such as mathematics and logic together, the life of Charles Ludwig Dodgson is a counterexample. He is better known by his pen name, Lewis Carroll, through his book "Alice's Adventure in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass." But rarely know that He is a lecturer at Oxford University since he was eighteen years until his death. He also was the first photographer on the Victorian era.
Charles was the eldest of seven children, therefore, she often accompanied her sisters to play, poetry, storytelling, and drawing the things that can be fun. This habit gives a lot of inspiration for him primarily view their work as Lewis Carroll. In addition to fun with the story, young Charles was also very fond of mathematics. At the age of 8 years, she asked her father to explain the book that contains the logarithm. When his father said that he was too young to understand, he replied, "But please explain."
Dodgson family has a strong tradition of the church, Father Charles, grandfather, and great-grandfather was a pastor. Following his family, Charles participated in the Christ Church of the largest and most famous in Oxford. After graduating in 1854, Charles remained in Oxford, took a job as an assistant professor of mathematics in 1855. However, this work stopped while he got a call the sacred from the Anglican Church during his celibacy. Dodgson meet and was named deacon in 1861.
In 1856 was the memories that affect subsequent years. Charles Lutwidge create a pseudonym with mentranslet two first name in Latin, Carolus Ludovic, and mengtranslate back into English to be Lewis Carroll. In the same year, Dodgson start 'hobi'nya in Photography. He was known to audiences as an artist in this field is still new, (photography was invented 1839). The result of Dodgson's work contains many Victorian era. Results of his work exceeded 700, but his favorite is the photographic work of a young girl.
In 1856, Dodgson met four children dean of Christ Church, that is Harry, Lorina, Edith, and Alice Liddell. He began diligently to meet them, telling stories and preserving them through photography. Despite their very close relationship with, Alice gets special attention from Dodgson.
On July 4, 1862, while on holiday with Alice and his brother, Dodgson Liddell entertain children with a story about a little girl named Alice who fell into the rabbit hole. Fascinated by the story, Alice asked Dodgson wrote it for her. He filled it, and give the title to the text that is Alice's Adventures Underground.
Her friend suggested to publish the manuscript terseubt, and in 1865, after the editing process and provide some additional stories, giving Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in the World. Although the book itself contains the imagination that has no particular meaning, this masterpiece contains many studies of logic and metaphor. Dodgson himself later went on a sequel to Alice in 'Through the Looking Glass "are in print in 1871.
In addition to writing stories for children, Dodgson also published many essays and texts, including The Fifth Book of Euclid proved Algebraically, formulas of Plane Trigonometry, A Guide to the Mathematical Student, and Euclid and His Modern Rivals. In formal logic, Dodgson book entitled The Game of Logic (1887) and Symbolic Logic (1896) is still used as a source of inspiration at various schools in the world.
