Most popular biographies – 2024

Of our 3150 biographies, those below are the 200 which were consulted most often in the last three months.

These numbers were compiled in January 2024.

The number in [brackets] was the position last time we carried out this exercise in 2018 (See THIS LINK).

The biographies at the top of the list were each accessed about 400 times per day, while those near the 200th place were accessed about 20 times per day.

Some notable changes from the earlier version are that Hawking went from 3rd place in 2018 to outside the top 200, while Thomas Fuller came from ouside the top 200 to 17th place.

The popularity of female mathematician's biographies declined markedly as you can see at THIS LINK.
