Joshua king is not linked to mathematics —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.67.164.109 (talk) 23:55, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the guy was a "Lucasian Professor of Mathematics" at the University of Cambridge he most certainly is linked to Mathematics. The fact that he did nothing of note does not remove the link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.22.169.133 (talk) 09:06, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, he was the last Lucasian professor whose specialty really was math. (The subsequent ones were mostly physicists.). This seems to be the only notable thing about him, and should be mentioned in the article I guess. 47.144.2.92 (talk) 03:38, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

punchline missing?

Reading the article several times, I somehow missed to get the punchline. So was he a fraud? Or were all others at that time in Cambridge idiots? How did he qualify for the chair? Did he produce results or ideas which have only been traded colloquial. Did he lecture? Did he produce academic offspring? --91.115.115.141 (talk) 15:32, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
