George Salmon
George Salmon (25 September 1819 – 22 January 1904) was an Irish mathematician and Anglican theologian. After working in algebraic geometry, Salmon devoted the last forty years of his life to theology. His entire career was spent at Trinity College Dublin.
Personal life
Salmon was almost certainly born in Dublin, to Michael Salmon and Helen Weekes (the daughter of the Reverend Edward Weekes), but he spent his boyhood in Cork City, Ireland, where his father Michael was a linen merchant, here he attended Hamblin and Porter's School before going to Trinity College in 1833. He graduated from Trinity College Dublin in 1839 with very high honors in mathematics. In 1841 at the age of 21 he attained a paid fellowship and teaching position in mathematics at Trinity. In 1845 he was concurrently appointed to a position in theology at Trinity, after having been ordained a deacon in 1844 and a priest in the Church of Ireland in 1845.
He remained at Trinity College Dublin for the rest of his career. He married in 1844 Frances Anne, daughter of Rev J L Salvador of Staunton, Herefordshire with whom he had six children, of whom only two survived him. He died at Trinity college and was buried in Mount Jerome cemetery, Dublin.
