Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer, mathematician, and logician born on January 27, 1832. He is most famous for his children's books, particularly Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass. His works are celebrated for their imaginative characters and playful use of language. In addition to his literary contributions, Dodgson was a skilled mathematician and held a position at Christ Church, Oxford. He published several mathematical papers and was known for his interest in logic and puzzles. His dual career as a mathematician and author has made him a unique figure in both fields.
