Peter Whittle is a mathematician and statistician, working in the fields of stochastic nets, optimal control, time series analysis, stochastic optimization and stochastic dynamics. From 1967 to 1994, he was the Churchill Professor of Mathematics for Operational Research at the University of Cambridge. Whittle graduated in 1948 with a M. Sc. from the University of New Zealand. He then moved to the University of Uppsala in 1950 to study for his Ph.D.

- Peter Whittle is a mathematician and statistician, working in the fields of stochastic nets, optimal control, time series analysis, stochastic optimization and stochastic dynamics. From 1967 to 1994, he was the Churchill Professor of Mathematics for Operational Research at the University of Cambridge. Whittle graduated in 1948 with a M. Sc. from the University of New Zealand. He then moved to the University of Uppsala in 1950 to study for his Ph.D. with Herman Wold; his thesis, Hypothesis Testing in Time Series, was published by 1951. He remained in Uppsala until 1953 when, having met his wife Kathe, he moved back to New Zealand. He worked at the DSIR Applied Mathematics Laboratory (later the Applied Mathematics Division) until 1959 when he was appointed to a lectureship in Cambridge. This appointment was brief however; Whittle was appointed Professor of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Manchester in 1961. After 6 years in Manchester, Whittle returned to Cambridge as the Churchill Professor of Mathematics for Operational Research, a post he held until his retirement in 1994. From 1973, he was also Director of the Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Whittle was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1978, and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1981. The Royal Society awarded him their Sylvester Medal in 1994 in recognition of his "major distinctive contributions to time series analysis, to optimisation theory, and to a wide range of topics in applied probability theory and the mathematics of operational research". In 1986, the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences awarded Whittle the Lanchester Prize for his book Systems in Stochastic Equilibrium and the John von Neumann Theory Prize in 1997 for his "outstanding contributions to the theory of operations research and management science". Whittle has six children.

W latach 1967-1994 zajmował stanowisko Churchill Professor of Mathematics for Operational Research na Uniwersytecie Cambridge. Whittle obronił tytuł magistra na nieistniejącym już dziś Uniwersytecie Nowej Zelandii w roku 1948. Stopień doktora zdobył na Uniwersytecue w Uppsali w roku 1951 pod kierunkiem Hermana Wolda. W roku 1953 powrócił do Nowej Zelandii, gdzie pracował do roku 1959 w DSIR Applied Mathematics Laboratory (później - Applied Mathematics Division). Przez kolejne dwa lata prowadził wykłady na Uniwersytecie Cambridge, zaś od roku 1961 kierował katedrą statystyki matematycznej na Uniwersytecie w Manchester. Od roku 1967 aż do przejścia na emeryturę w roku 1994 pracował jako Churchill Professor na Cambridge. Od roku 1973 kierował również laboratorium statystycznym tej uczelni. Whittle został wybrany na członka brytyjskiego Towarzystwa Królewskiego w roku 1978. zaś w roku 1981 został członkiem honorowym Towarzystwa Królewskiego Nowej Zelandii. Został odznaczony Medalem Sylvestra w roku 1994, otrzymał nagrodę Lanchester (Lanchester Prize) i John von Neumann Theory Prize w roku 1997 (obie w dziedzinie badań operacyjnych). Whittle ma żonę, Kathe, oraz sześcioro dzieci.
