Wilson, Robin J. (Author)
This article is based on my presidential address, given at the BSHM Christmas meeting on 7 December 2013. It features the history of combinatorics, a much neglected area, with particular reference to the work of two mathematicians who have always interested me---Leonhard Euler and Major Percy MacMahon---and with further contributions by Arthur Cayley (on trees) and G H Hardy and S Ramanujan (on partitions).
