		Professor John Henry Coates, F.R.S. (born January 26, 1945) is a mathematician who holds the position of Sadleirian Professor of Pure Mathematics[?] at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
		In 1969, Coates was appointed assistant professor of mathematics at Harvard University in the United States, before moving again in 1972 to Stanford University where he became an associate professor.
		He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1985, and was President of the London Mathematical Society[?] from 1988 to 1990.

		From the eighteenth century onwards, this was a recognised category of mathematical activity, sometimes characterised as speculative mathematics, and at variance with the trend towards meeting the needs of navigation, astronomy, physics, engineering, and so on.
		The logical formulation of pure mathematics suggested by Bertrand Russell in terms of a quantifier structure of propositions seemed more and more plausible, as large parts of mathematics became axiomatised and thus subject to the simple criteria of rigorous proof.
		Pure mathematics, according to a view that continued to and through the Bourbaki group, is what is proved.

	Godfrey Harold Hardy Biography \| World of Genetics
		He was primarily a pure mathematician, specializing in branches of mathematics that study the behavior of numbers (such as number theory and analysis).
		Rather than attend regular classes in mathematics, he was coached by a private tutor, and he completed sixth form at Cranleigh when he was only thirteen--about five years younger than the usual age--ranking second in class.
		This was the first mathematical textbook in the English language to explain rigorously the fundamental concepts of the subject.

		Mathematics was to be studied from 12 to 1 p.m.
		Mathematics was developing rapidly, and science, based on the philosophy of Sir Francis Bacon, was concerned to build up by experimentation a complete natural history, from which, it was expected, the primary laws of nature would be apparent.
		The first increase in the number of professors of mathematics occurred in 1892 when four Waynflete chairs, one being for Pure Mathematics, were established at Magdalen in lieu of the three Praelectorships mentioned in its ancient statutes.

		It was a collaboration in which Hardy acknowledged Littlewood's greater technical mathematical skills, but at the same time Hardy brought great talents of mathematical insight and a great ability to write their work up in papers with great clarity.
		Despite having been unhappy at Cambridge, Hardy returned to the Sadleirian chair there in 1931 when Hobson retired, because he still considered Cambridge the center of English mathematics, and the Sadleirian chair was the foremost mathematics chair in England.
		He was president of the London Mathematical Society from 1926 to 1928, and again from 1939 to 1941.

		Hardy was Sadleirian Professor at Cambridge from 1931 to 1942; he had left Cambridge to take the Savilian Chair of Geometry at Oxford in the aftermath of the Bertrand Russell affair during World War I. Work
		Hardy is credited with reforming British mathematics by bringing rigour into it, which was previously a characteristic of French, Swiss and German mathematics.
		Hardy was more in tune with the i methods dominant in France, and aggressively promoted his conception of pure mathematics, in particular against the hydrodynamics which was an important part of Cambridge mathematics.

	Arthur Cayley Summary
		When he died in 1895 at the age of 73, Cayley was already famous and revered as a major contributor to mathematics and respected as one of the great intellects of the nineteenth century.
		He was one of the individuals responsible for elevating English mathematics of the era to a position of visibility and authority.
		He was quite a pure mathematician, but still pursued problems in dynamics as a source of problems in pure mathematics.
