- Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics
The Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics is an endowed professorial position in the School of Mathematics, University of Manchester, England. The chair was founded by an endowment of £3,600 from one John Richardson, in 1890. The endowment was originally used to support the Richardson Lectureship in Mathematics.

There was then a further hiatus until the establishment of the Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics in 1998 The current holder (since 1998) is Nicholas Higham.
