Морган Вильям Крофтон (1826, Дублин, Ирландия — 1915, Брайтон, Англия) — ирландский математик, внесший вклад в геометрическую теорию вероятностей.

Биография

Морган Крофтон родился в богатой англо-Ирландской семье. Его отец, преподобный Уильям Крофтон, ректор Слайго, был младшим братом сэра Молби Крофтона, 2-й Баронет из дома Лонгфорд[3]. Он был также являлся двоюродным братом Лорда Эдварда Крофтона, Барона Крофтона из Соринки[4].

Несмотря на то, что Морган родился в аристократической, англиканской семье, Крофтон присоединился к Римско-католической церкви в 1850-х годах, это случилось отчасти из-за интереса к кардиналу Джону Генри Ньюмену. В результате ему пришлось покинуть королевский колледж в Голуэй.

Был дважды женат: 31 августа 1857 на Юлия Агнес, Сесилия, дочь Дж Б Кернен (умерла 1902) и второй раз на Кэтрин, дочери Холланд Тэйлор из Манчестера.

Карьера

Он был профессором математики в Королевской Военной академии в Вулвидже и профессором естественной философии в Королевском университете Ирландии. Был избран член Королевского общества в июне 1868[5].

Работал с Джеймсом Джозефом Сильвестром.
