Extractions: Graham Higman is the second son of the Reverend Joseph Higman. He was educated at Sutton Secondary School in Plymouth and won a natural sciences scholarship to study at Balliol College Oxford. He chose Balliol College because that was the College where his elder brother had studied but, since his elder brother had read chemistry, Graham decided he had to be different in some respect and so, despite holding a natural sciences scolarship, he chose to read mathematics. Higman's tutor was Henry Whitehead and it took a while before he realised that Higman was a natural pure mathematician since most students on a natural sciences scholarship would only take mathematics courses to support their science studies. Following a suggestion by Whitehead , Higman founded the Invariant Society (an Oxford undergraduate mathematical society). The first speaker was G H Hardy who addressed the Invariant Society on round numbers. After taking special topic courses on

Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Graham Higman is the second son of the Reverend Joseph Higman. He was educated at Sutton Secondary School in Plymouth and then at Balliol College Oxford from where he received an M.A. He continued to study for his doctorate at Oxford, graduating with a DPhil. When he completed his studies World War II had started and Higman's first work was war service in the Meteorological Office from 1940 to 1946. In 1946 Higman was appointed as a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Manchester, and he held that post until 1955 when he returned to Oxford as a Reader in Mathematics. In 1958 he was honoured with election as a fellow of the Royal Society of London and, in the same year, he became a Senior Research fellow at his old College, Balliol College. Higman was appointed Waynflete Professor of Pure Mathematics at Oxford in October 1960 and he was elected a fellow of Magdalen College Oxford. He held these positions until he retired in 1984. Immediately after he retired from Oxford, Higman went to the United States where he was George A Miller visiting professor at the University of Illinois for the two years from 1984 to 1986.

Extractions: Here is a collection of stuff related to my current PhD project. The general idea (at the moment) is to turn the approach of Higman's PORC conjecture for p-groups of Frattini class 2 into an algorithm. My supervisor is the ever helpful Mike Newman So far my project has touched on several areas: finite fields, combinatorial representation theory, homological algebra, enumerative combinatorics and some number theory. Of course there has been heaps of group theory and computational algebra. I enjoy seeing the different areas and how they interact in interesting ways. There also seems to be a common thread through a line of eminent mathematicians, some of them my mathematical ancestors! What is PORC?
