- Nicholas John Higham FRS (born Salford 25 December 1961) is a numerical analyst and Richardson Professor of Applied Mathematics at the School of Mathematics, University of Manchester. He is a graduate of the Victoria University of Manchester gaining his BA in 1982, MSc in and 1983 and PhD 1985. His PhD thesis was entitled Nearness Problems in Numerical Linear Algebra and his supervisor was George Hall. Higham is Director of Research within the School of Mathematics, Director of the Manchester Institute for Mathematical Sciences (MIMS), and Head of the Numerical Analysis Group. He held a prestigious Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2003–2008) and as of 2006 is on the Institute for Scientific Information Highly Cited Researcher list. Higham is best known for his work on the accuracy and stability of numerical algorithms. He has more than 85 refereed publications on topics such as rounding error analysis, linear systems, least squares problems, matrix functions and nonlinear matrix equations, condition number estimation, and generalized eigenvalue problems. He has contributed software to LAPACK and the NAG library, and has contributed code included in the MATLAB distribution. Higham is a member of the editorial boards of the journals Linear Algebra and its Applications, SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis], Numerical Algorithms, and Foundations of Computational Mathematics. His honours include the Alston S. Householder Award VI, 1987 (for the best Ph.D. thesis in numerical algebra 1984—1987), the 1988 Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis, a 1999 Junior Whitehead Prize from the London Mathematical Society. He was elected as Fellow of the Royal Society in 2007. In 2008 he was awarded the Fröhlich Prize in recognition of 'his leading contributions to numerical linear algebra and numerical stability analysis'. Higham has authored several books including Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms (2nd edition 2002), Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences (2nd edition, 1998), and MATLAB Guide (with his brother D.J. Higham, 2nd edition, 2005).
- Nicholas John Higham FRS é um matemático britânico. Trabalha com análise numérica, é professor da Cátedra Richardson de Matemática Aplicada da Escola de Matemática da Universidade de Manchester. Graduado em 1982 pela Victoria University of Manchester, com mestrado em 1983 e doutorado em 1985, com a tese Nearness Problems in Numerical Linear Algebra, orientado por George Hall. Higham é diretor de pesquisas da Escola de Matemática, diretor do Manchester Institute for Mathematical Sciences (MIMS) e chefe do Numerical Analysis Group. Recebeu o Prêmio ao Mérito Fundação Wolfson/Royal Society (2003–2008) e é um dos pesquisadores mais citados do ISI. Higham é mais conhecido por seu trabalho sobre precisão e estabilidade de algorítmos numéricos. Mais de 85 de seus artigos são publicações com revisores, abrangendo tópicos como análise de erros de arredondamento, sistemas lineares, problemas de mínimos quadrados, funções matriciais e equações matriciais não-lineares, estimativa do número de condição e problemas de autovalores generalizados. Contribuiu com softwares para o LAPACK e a biblioteca NAG, e também com códigos para o MATLAB. Higham é membro do corpo editorial das publicações Linear Algebra and its Applications, SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, Numerical Algorithms e Foundations of Computational Mathematics. Dentre suas condecorações incluem-se o Prêmio Alston S. Householder VI, 1987 (pela melhor tese em álgebra numérica 1984—1987), o Prêmio Leslie Fox para Análise Numérica de 1988, e um Prêmio Whitehead de 1999. Foi eleito membro da Royal Society em 2007. Em 2008 recebeu o Prêmio Fröhlich, em reconhecimento de "suas contribuições à álgebra linear numérica e análise de estabilidade numérica". Higham é autor de diversos livros, incluindo Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms (2nd edition 2002), Handbook of Writing for the Mathematical Sciences (2nd edition, 1998), e MATLAB Guide (com seu irmão D.J. Higham, 2nd edition, 2005). Predefinição:Referências
