University of Oxford

The University of Oxford is a collegiate research university in Oxford, England, with evidence of teaching as early as 1096, which makes it the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's second-oldest university in continuous operation. It is made up of 43 colleges and a range of academic departments organised into four divisions, and it runs the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford University Press and the largest academic library system in the country. Its foundation date is unknown. In this atlas it appears as an institution where computing and mathematical pioneers studied, taught or held chairs, such as the Savilian Professor of Geometry John Wallis. Its source counts six Turing Award winners among the people who have matriculated, worked or held visiting fellowships there.
