Thomas Penyngton Kirkman FRS (31 March 1806 – 3 February 1895) was a British mathematician and ordained minister of the Church of England. Despite being primarily a churchman, he maintained an active interest in research-level mathematics, and was listed by Alexander Macfarlane as one of ten leading 19th-century British mathematicians. In the 1840s, he obtained an existence theorem for Steiner triple systems that founded the field of combinatorial design theory, while the related Kirkman's schoolgirl problem is named after him.

  • Thomas Penyngton Kirkman (31 de marzo de 1806 – 3 de febrero de 1895) fue un matemático británico, que se destacó la teoría de grupos en Inglaterra y que es recordado principalmente por un problema de combinatoria que lleva su nombre, el problema de las colegialas de Kirkman. En términos de la matemática actual, lo que probó fue un teorema de existencia del triple S(2,3,n).​ Intentó también extender la teoría de los cuaterniones.​ (es)
  • Thomas Penyngton Kirkman (né le 31 mars 1806 – mort le 3 février 1895) est un mathématicien britannique et représentant de l'Église d'Angleterre. Bien que d'abord un homme d'église, il a été très actif dans la recherche en mathématiques et est considéré par (en) comme l'un des dix mathématiciens britanniques les plus influents du XIXe siècle. Il a donné son nom au problème des 15 écolières, un théorème sur les systèmes de Steiner qui a fondé la théorie du design combinatoire (Combinatorial design). (fr)
