Speakers
Topic: "Mapping an Empire"
Presenter: Tony McCurdy
After a career working internationally as a consultant in the public and private sectors, Tony has, since his retirement in 2000, been a sought-after speaker in U3A, Probus and a wide variety of special interest groups on more than 20 engaging topics. We were delighted to have Tony with us again, this time speaking on “Mapping an Empire”, the gripping story of the stupendous work of 19th century science, exploration and achievement involved in the mapping by Britain of the Indian subcontinent.
Who would have thought that a highly qualified mathematician could make a presentation on the mapping of the Indian Sub-continent such an interesting experience? Well, Tony did that . . . and more!
