William Crawley-Boevey worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists William Crawley-Boevey as British mathematician.
William Crawley-Boevey was born in 1960. His recorded nationality is United Kingdom. He studied at St John's College and University of Cambridge.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at University of Leeds.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: Berwick Prize (1991).
That the work was done from United Kingdom matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
William Crawley-Boevey is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
