The R.A. Blyth Lectures are an annual distinguished lecture series
in Mathematics and Mathematical Science, established by the
Department of Mathematics, University of Toronto on the
occasion of the 150th anniversary of the firt Professorship
in Mathematics at the University.
It consists of three lectures by a
distinguished mathematician: the first for a general scientific audience, the
