Blue Plaque for Karl Pearson

The next blue plaque takes us over to Hampstead to the former home of Karl Pearson, born on this day 1857



Karl Pearson was a well known statistitian who set up the first university statistics department at University College London in 1911. He also held some pretty questionable views on eugenics but was a great influence on Albert Einstein when he was forming his Theory of Relativity
