Graham Everest

Graham Everest ( * 1957 in Southwick, West Sussex, † 30 July 2010) was a British mathematician.

Everest came from a working class family and studied at Bedford College (now Royal Holloway College), University of London in 1983 and his doctorate under Colin J. Bushnell at King's College London ( The distribution of normal integral generators in tame extensions of Q). He was a professor at the University of East Anglia, where it was since 1983.

Everest in 2006 was ordained a priest, and went in the Norwich to. 2008 at his prostate cancer was diagnosed, he died.

He dealt with the interaction of dynamical systems and number theory and recursive equations in number theory.

In 1983 he became a member of the London Mathematical Society. In 2012 he was awarded with Thomas Ward Lester Randolph Ford Award for A repulsion motif in diophantine equations.

He was married and has three children.
