ROUTH, EDWARD JOHN (1831–1907), mathematician, born at Quebec on 20 Jan. 1831, was son of Sir Randolph Isham Routh [q. v.], commissary-general in the army, by his second wife, Marie Louise, sister of Cardinal Elzear Alexandre Taschereau [q. v.] and first cousin of Sir Henri Elzear Taschereau [q. v. Suppl. II], chief justice of Canada. Martin Joseph Routh [q. v.], president of Magdalen College, Oxford, recognised a distant relationship by leaving Edward a bequest on his death in 1854.

When eleven years of age Routh was brought to England, and was educated first at University College school, and later at University College, London, where the influence of Augustus De Morgan led him to devote himself to mathematics. He matriculated at London University in 1847, winning an exhibition; he graduated B.A. as a scholar in 1849, and carried off the gold medal for mathematics and natural philosophy in the examination for M.A. in 1853.

Meanwhile he entered Peterhouse, Cambridge, as a 'pensioner' on 1 June 185

Biography

Early life

Routh was born of an English father and a French-Canadian mother in Quebec, at that time the British colony of Lower Canada. His father's family could trace its history back to the Norman conquest when it acquired land at Routh near Beverley, Yorkshire. His mother's family, the Taschereau family, was well-established in Quebec, tracing their ancestry back to the early days of the French colony. His parents were Sir Randolph Isham Routh (1782–1858) and his second wife, Marie Louise Taschereau (1810–1891).^&#
