The Beyer Chair of Applied Mathematics is an endowed professorial position in the Department of Mathematics, University of Manchester, England. The endowment came from the will of the celebrated locomotive designer and founder of locomotive builder Beyer, Peacock & Company, Charles Frederick Beyer. He was the university's largest single donor. Most of the holders of the post were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society, an honour bestowed on a small minority of UK mathematics professors. Lamb, Champman, Milne and Goldstein all received the Smith's Prize and indication of early career promise.

| - The Beyer Chair of Applied Mathematics is an endowed professorial position in the Department of Mathematics, University of Manchester, England. The endowment came from the will of the celebrated locomotive designer and founder of locomotive builder Beyer, Peacock & Company, Charles Frederick Beyer. He was the university's largest single donor. The first appointment in 1881 was of Arthur Schuster who held the position until 1888. After Schuster’s departure, the chair of Mathematics to which Horace Lamb had been appointed in 1885 became the Beyer Professorship of Mathematics and remained so until Lamb’s retirement in 1920. At this point an existing chair, of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy to which Sydney Chapman had been appointed in 1919, was renamed the Beyer Professorship of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. After Chapman’s resignation, the Beyer title was applied to the chair of Applied Mathematics. There was no incumbent between 1937-1945. Most of the holders of the post were elected as Fellows of the Royal Society, an honour bestowed on a small minority of UK mathematics professors. Lamb, Champman, Milne and Goldstein all received the Smith's Prize and indication of early career promise. The other endowed chairs in mathematics at the University of Manchester are the Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics, and the Fielden Chair of Pure Mathematics as well as the named Sir Horace Lamb Chair.

- A Cátedra Beyer de Matemática Aplicada (em inglês: Beyer Chair of Applied Mathematics) é um posto de professor do Departamento de Matemática da Universidade de Manchester, Inglaterra. Foi uma doação do engenheiro , um benemérito da universidade. O primeiro a ocupá-la, em 1881, foi Arthur Schuster, que permaneceu no posto até 1888. Após sua retirada assumiu Horace Lamb, que havia sido indicado em 1885, permanecendo no cargo até aposentar-se em 1920. Nesta ocasião uma outra cátedra já existente, de Matemática e Filosofia Natural, para a qual Sydney Chapman foi indicado em 1919, foi renomeada Beyer Professorship of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. Após a renúncia de Chapman, o título antigo foi aplicado à cadeira de matemática aplicada. A cátedra permaneceu sem ocupante entre 1937 e 1945. A cátedra sempre foi considerada de grande prestígio, sendo por exemplo seus atuais titulares já aposentados eleitos membros da Royal Society, honraria concedida a uma minoria de professores de matemática do Reino Unido. Horace Lamb, Sydney Chapman, Edward Arthur Milne e Sydney Goldstein receberam o Prêmio Smith. As outras cátedras de matemática dotadas da Universidade de Manchester são:
* Cátedra Richardson de Matemática Aplicada
* Professor Fielden de Matemática Pura (pt)
