Extractions: Version for printing 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: The general idea is to turn G. Higman's approach to his 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, classical invariant theory and some number theory. Of course there has been heaps of group theory and computational algebra. I enjoy seeing the different areas 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?

Extractions: On a Question Posed by Graham Higman Gerard M. Enright (Irish Mathematical Society Bulletin, Number 28, 1992) Consider a function f of the non-negative integers given by the following rules: f(3n) f(3n+1) f(3n+2) is undefined for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Since f(0) = and f(1) = 1, the function may be repeatedly and indefinitely applied to and 1, that is, for z = and 1, f (k) Question: (k) This function was introduced by Professor Graham Higman [1] during a lecture on explicit embeddings of finitely presented groups. He posed the question and he conjectured that the answer was "No". To be precise, he declared "No" to be his "first best guess". In this paper, we will not prove Higman's conjecture but we will produce a good deal of evidence in its favour. Neither will we discuss the group theoretic context in which the question was raised. Instead we present an exploration of the problem as an example of computer-aided mathematics suitable for secondary school and college level students. We use elementary programs in BASIC to obtain data on the function and we use this data in further development of the problem, leading to more efficient programming. Our suggestion is that students' knowledge and understanding of mathematics is reinforced by doing mathematics and that a computer is a very useful tool in this process. We demonstrate the power and scope of electronic computation. We also show its limitations when faced with a great volume of calculations and with very large numbers. (z), f

Extractions: Topology Atlas Document # iaah-22 from CIM Bulletin #10 Gareth A. Jones I acquired this piece of information from Nigel Hitchin back in 1986. Let me see if I get it right. You were colleagues in Oxford and during your first year you were taught by Michael Atiyah. What course was it and how was he as a teacher for students just starting university? Nigel Hitchin and I were students together at Jesus College, Oxford, from 1965 to 1971. Oxford, like Cambridge, consists of several dozen colleges, each containing a few hundred students. Weekly individual teaching is provided by college tutors, but lecture courses and examinations are organized by the University departments. In my time, the mathematics tutors at Jesus College, Edward Thompson for Pure Mathematics and Christopher Bradley for Applied Mathematics, had excellent reputations as teachers, so the standard of mathematics in the college was very high. There were eight mathematics students there in my year: among them, Nigel Hitchin went on to do great work in geometry with Atiyah and Donaldson, while Lyn Thomas, after getting a doctorate in quantum theory, became one of the leading figures in the Operations Research community. Before your Oxford days how was your life? I think you come from Wales. Did you realize at an early age that Mathematics was the science you wanted to devote your life to?
