Simson, Robert (1678–1768)

British mathematician. In 1711 he was appointed by Glasgow University to the professorship of mathematics and held this post until 1761. His great work was his restoration of Euclid's lost treatise on Porisms (1776). He also published The Elements of Euclid (1756), which was for a long time the standard text on Euclid in Britain. Simson was born in Kirktonhall, Ayrshire, Scotland.
