Rollo Davidson
Rollo Davidson (b. Bristol, 8 October 1944, d. Piz Bernina, 29 July 1970) was a probabilist, alpinist, and Fellow-elect of Churchill College, Cambridge who died aged 25 on Piz Bernina.
In 1975 a fund was established at Churchill College in his memory, endowed initially through the publication in his honour of two volumes[1] of papers, edited by E. F. Harding and D. G. Kendall.[2] A prize from the Rollo Davidson Trust Fund has been awarded annually since 1976 to young probabilists.[3]
Davidson attended Winchester College before studying mathematics at Trinity College, Cambridge from 1962 and becoming a research fellow there in 1967.[4]
