Richard A. Parker is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Richard A. Parker as British mathematician.
Richard A. Parker was born in 1953. He studied at St John's College.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
The recorded fields of work are group theory, arithmetic and computational approach.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
Richard A. Parker died in 2024, aged 71. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
