- Gordon Whyburn (Lewisville, 7 de gener de 1904 - Charlottesville, 8 de setembre de 1969) va ser un matemàtic estatunidenc. Després d'obtenir el doctorat el 1927 a la universitat de Texas a Austin amb una tesi dirigida per Robert Lee Moore, va fer un any d'estudis post-doctorals a la universitat de Viena amb una beca Guggenheim. En retornar als Estats Units el 1930, va ser professor de la universitat Johns Hopkins fins al 1934, any en què va ser nomenat professor titular de la universitat de Virgínia a Charlottesville, de la qual ja no es va bellugar fins a la seva mort el 1969, excepte per algunes classes com professor visitant a diverses universitats americanes. El seu germà, William, i el seu fill, Kenneth, també van ser matemàtics famosos. Es va casar amb Lucille Smith que va publicar un reeixit llibre sobre l'ensenyament de les matemàtiques. Whyburn va publicar uns cint cinquanta articles científics, la majoria de ells de topologia, seguint la influència del seu mestre, Moore. També va fer recerca i docència en altres camps com la teoria de funcions. (ca)
- Gordon Thomas Whyburn (* 7. Januar 1904 in Lewisville, Texas; † 8. September 1969 in Charlottesville, Virginia) war ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker, der sich mit der Topologie von Punktmengen beschäftigte. Whyburn studierte an der University of Texas in Austin Chemie (Bachelor-Abschluss 1925) und wechselte auf den Einfluss seines Lehrers Robert Lee Moore zur Mathematik, machte aber noch 1926 seinen Master-Abschluss in Chemie. 1927 promovierte er in Mathematik und war dann Adjunct Professor an der Universität Texas. 1929/30 war er als Guggenheim Fellow in Wien bei Hans Hahn und in Warschau bei Kazimierz Kuratowski und Sierpinski. Danach war er Associate Professor an der Johns Hopkins University und ab 1934 Professor an der University of Virginia, wo er den Rest seiner Karriere blieb. Er war dort Vorsitzender der mathematischen Fakultät, trat aber 1966 nach einem ersten Herzinfarkt davon zurück. Sein Nachfolger als Dekan wurde sein Schüler Edwin E. Floyd. Whyburn war unter anderem 1952/3 Gastprofessor an der Stanford University. Sein Bruder William Marvin Whyburn (1901–1972) war ebenfalls Mathematiker, der mit ihm in Austin studierte und später Professor an der UCLA war, spezialisiert auf gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen. 1938 erhielt Whyburn den Chauvenet-Preis, 1951 wurde er in die National Academy of Sciences gewählt. Seit 1925 war er mit der Mathematikerin Lucille Smith verheiratet. (de)

Whyburn studied at the University of Texas in Austin, where he received a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1925. Under the influence of his teacher Robert Lee Moore, Whyburn continued to study at Austin but changed to mathematics and earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1926 and then a PhD in 1927. After two years as an adjunct professor at U. of Texas, with the aid of a Guggenheim fellowship Whyburn spent the academic year 1929/1930 in Vienna with Hans Hahn and in Warsaw with Kuratowski and Sierpinski. After the fellowship expired, Whyburn became a professor at Johns Hopkins University. From 1934 he was a professor at the University of Virginia, where he modernized the mathematics department and spent the rest of his career. He was chair of the department until his first heart attack in 1966; Edward J. McShane joined the department in 1935, and Gustav A. Hedlund was a member of the department from 1939 to 1948. In the academic year 1952/1953 Whyburn was a visiting professor at Stanford University. In 1953–1954 he served as president of the American Mathematical Society. Whyburn was awarded the Chauvenet Prize in 1938 for his paper "On the Structure of Continua", and was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1951. His doctoral students include John L. Kelley and Alexander Doniphan Wallace. His brother William Marvin Whyburn (1901–1972) was a mathematics professor at UCLA and became known for his work on ordinary differential equations. (en)
