==Life==
After being educated at Sedbergh School between 1822-1827, he was admitted a sizar of St John's College, Cambridge in 1827. He was Second Wrangler in the Mathematical Tripos in 1831, behind Samuel Earnshaw.〔Alex D. D. Craik, ''Mr Hopkins' Men: Cambridge Reform and British Mathematics in the 19th Century'' (2008), p. 4; (Google Books ).〕 He was then a Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge from 1832 to 1842, when he married. He became a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1836, and of the Royal Society in 1839.〔''Obituary: List of Fellows and Associates deceased Gaskin, Thomas'', Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. 48, p. 163, Bibliographic Code: 1888MNRAS..48R.161; (SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) ).〕 In 1840 Gaskin and his fellow examiner J. Bowstead unilaterally abolished the Tripos system of ''viva voce'' examinations in Latin, which had become an obsolete formality.〔Craik, p. 90; (Google Books ).〕
Gaskin spent the latter part of his career as a private coach, moving to Cheltenham in 1855.〔〔A. J. Crilly, ''Arthur Cayley: mathematician laureate of the Victorian age'' (2006), p. 256; ()〕
