London Ontario is home to the University of Western Ontario. Western is one of Canada's oldest universities and it was founded in 1878. Within its beautiful campus you can find the Ontario Research Centre for Computer Algebra where research into many symbolic algebra topics takes place. The researchers at ORCCA also help to develop Maple.

One of the most important Canadians called London his home. Sir Frederick Banting was the co-discoverer of insulin which gave life to millions who suffer or suffered from diabetes. For this achievement, Banting received the Nobel Prize. His home in London is preserved as a national historic site:

Add to that Sir Roger Penrose (even though he lived in London for five years).
