		The Lucasian Professorship was the next chair to be endowed at Cambridge University, almost 125 years later, in 1663.
		The Lucasian Chair is one of mathematics, the foundation of science and engineering, and therefore the chair has been a focus of many fields.
		Lucasian professors have been classical scholars, theorists, physicists, computer scientists, astronomers, and fluid mechanists, with the field of mathematics providing the unifying basis for them all.

		Paul Dirac was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in Cambridge from 1932 to 1969 and is numbered alongside Newton, Maxwell, Einstein and Rutherford, as one of the greatest physicists of all time.
		Dirac's enormous contributions to it were acknowledged by his election to the Royal Society in 1930 and to the Lucasian Professorship in 1932, and by the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics for 1933, which he shared with Schrödinger.
		The significance of this and much of his other work, such as his approach to constraints in classical mechanics, has grown with the years, and his influence is now as great as ever.

		The most probable explanation of the reason why Newton wished to be excused from these payments is to be found in the fact that, as he was not in holy orders, his fellowship at Trinity College would lapse in the autumn of 1675.
		It is true that the loss to his income which this would have caused was obviated by a patent from the crown in April 1675, allowing him as Lucasian professor to retain his fellowship without the obligation of taking holy orders.
