 | Rouse Ball was a mathematical lecturer at Trinity from 1878 to 1905; from 1893 to 1905 he also served as a tutor. |
| Rouse Ball's fame, both during his lifetime and posthumously, came primarily from his Mathematical Recreations and Essays (1892), which has gone through thirteen editions, the last three of which were updated and revised by the distinguished Canadian mathematician H.S.M. Coxeter, his daughter, Susan Coxeter Thomas, and by other authorities. |
| One of Rouse Ball's tutees (1903) was the renowned mathematician J.E. Littlewood (of Hardy and Littlewood fame). |
