Roy Patrick Kerr CNZM FRS FRSNZ (/ k ɜːr /; born 16 May 1934) is a New Zealand mathematician who discovered the Kerr geometry, an exact solution to the Einstein field equation of general relativity. His solution models the gravitational field outside an uncharged rotating massive object, including a rotating black hole.

The Geometry of Numbers is intended for secondary-school and undergraduate mathematics students, although it may be too advanced for the secondary-school students; it contains exercises making it suitable for classroom use. [3] It has been described as "expository", [4] "self-contained", [1] [3] [4] and "readable". [6]
The appendix of this book: "Geometry of characteristic classes" is a very neat and profound introduction to the development of the ideas of characteristic classes.

John Charles Butcher ONZM (born 31 March 1933) is a New Zealand mathematician who specialises in numerical methods for the solution of ordinary differential equations. [1] Butcher works on multistage methods for initial value problems, such as Runge-Kutta and general linear methods. The Butcher group and the Butcher tableau are named after him.
The New Zealand Mathematical Society is a New Zealand based learned society of mathematicians. It is listed by the Royal Society of New Zealand as the affiliate organisation responsible for mathematics research, [ 1 ] and by the International Mathematical Union as the national mathematical society of New Zealand.
