Arthur Lee Dixon FRS[1] (27 November 1867 — 20 February 1955) was a British mathematician and holder of the Waynflete Professorship of Pure Mathematics at the University of Oxford.
[2][3] Dixon was born on 27 November 1867 in Pickering, North Riding of Yorkshire to G.T.
[4] Dixon became a Fellow of Merton College in 1891, and Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics in 1922.
Dixon was the last mathematical professor at Oxford to hold a life tenure,[7] and although he was not particularly noted for his mathematical innovations he did publish many papers on analytic number theory and the application of algebra to geometry, elliptic functions and hyperelliptic functions.
