Mathematician:Ian Nicholas Stewart

English mathematician who has made considerable contributions to the field of catastrophe theory.

He is more famous, however, as a popular writer and publicist of mathematics.

As one of the contributors to the Science of Discworld series, he was created an honorary Wizard of Unseen University. Contrary to popular belief, he is not in fact Scottish.
