Andrew James Granville is a British mathematician, working in the field of
number theory .He has been a faculty member at the
Université de Montréal since 2002. Before moving to Montreal he was amathematics professor atUniversity of Georgia (UGA) from 1991 until 2002. He was a section speaker in the 1994International Congress of Mathematicians together withCarl Pomerance from UGA.Granville received his
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) (1983) and his Certificate of Advanced Studies (Distinction) (1984) from Trinity College, Cambridge University. He received hisPh.D. fromQueen's University in 1987 [MathGenealogy|id=5613] and was inducted into theRoyal Society of Canada in 2006.Granville's work is mainly in
number theory , in particularanalytic number theory . Along withCarl Pomerance andW. R. (Red) Alford he proved the infiniteness ofCarmichael numbers in 1994. It was published in "Annals Math." 140 (1994), 703–722 with the title "There are infinitely many Carmichael numbers". This proof was based on a conjecture given byPaul Erdős .In 2008, he won the
Chauvenet Prize from theMathematical Association of America for his paper "It is easy to determine whether a given integer is prime," Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 42, 2005, pp. 3-38. [ [http://www.maa.org/Awards/chauvent.html MAA Chauvenet Prize page] ]References
