Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947) studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, and taught mathematics there for 16 years, afterward teaching math at University College, London, and the Imperial College of Science and Technology and serving as an instructor in philosophy at Harvard University. Whitehead wrote many books on science, mathematics, and philosophy; between 1910 - 13 he completed, with Bertrand Russell, his greatest mathematical work, Principia Mathematica.
