  • Graham Higman FRS was a leading British mathematician. He is known for his contributions to group theory. Higman was born in Louth, Lincolnshire and attended Sutton's Secondary School, Plymouth, winning a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford. He earned his PhD from the University of Oxford in 1941. His thesis, The units of group-rings, was written under the direction of J. H. C. Whitehead. From 1960 to 1984 he was the Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics at Magdalen College, Oxford. Higman was awarded the Senior Berwick Prize in 1962 and the De Morgan Medal of the London Mathematical Society in 1974. He was the founder of the Journal of Algebra and its editor from 1964 to 1984. He was also a local preacher in the Oxford Circuit of the Methodist Church. During the Second World War he was a conscientious objector, working at the Meteorological Office in Northern Ireland and Gibraltar. He died in Oxford.
  • Graham Higman war ein englischer Mathematiker, der sich mit Algebra, speziell der Gruppentheorie, beschäftigte.
  • Graham Higman on brittiläinen matemaatikko, joka on tullut tunnetuksi varsinkin saavutuksistaan ryhmäteorian alueella. Higman valmistui Oxfordin yliopistosta, jonka Magdalen Collegen matematiikan Waynflete-professorina hän itse toimi vuosina 1960–1984. Higmanille myönnettyistä palkinnoista tunnetuimpia ovat De Morgan -mitali ja Sylvester-mitali.
