Through the Looking Glass and What IIT Found There
01 / WHY "DODGSON'S"?

ASK
LEWIS
CARROLL.

Before Lewis Carroll sent Alice to a very strange tea party, he was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson: a mathematician, logician, puzzle-maker, and lecturer in mathematics at Oxford.

So when SIAM IIT needed a name for a weekly gathering built around math, puzzles, conversation, and tea, we borrowed his.

Dodgson's Tea Party is our small nod to the fact that mathematics has always had room for curiosity, play, and a little nonsense.
