The Cyril Offord Prize

Professor Cyril Offord, world famous for his work in classical analysis and a pioneer in the field of probabilistic analysis, was the first Professor of Mathematics at LSE. He died in June 2000, aged 93, and you can find out a little more about his life from his obituary in the Guardian newspaper, by clicking here|

In memory of Professor Offord, the Mathematics Department has established the Cyril Offord Prize. This prize will be awarded annually for Outstanding Performance in Mathematics by a student on either the BSc in Mathematics and Economics or the BSc in Business Mathematics and Statistics. The prize consists of £200 and a book chosen by the Department. The winner of the prize will be chosen by the staff of the Mathematics Department at the Examination Sub-Board Meeting in late June/early July each year, and will be informed shortly afterwards. We hope that this is a very positive way of remembering Professor Offord, and also of rewarding our students for excellence.
