Verner Emil Hoggatt, Jr. (June 26, 1921–August 11, 1980) [Social Security Death Index] [ [http://vitals.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi California Death Index] ] was an American mathematician, known mostly for his work in Fibonacci numbers and number theory.

Hogatt received a Ph.D. from Oregon State University in 1955 for his dissertation on The Inverse Weierstrass P-Function. [MathGenealogy|id=503] Besides his contributions in Fibonacci Numbers and Number theory it is as the co-founder of the Fibonacci association and publisher of the associated journal "Fibonacci Quarterly", for which he is best remembered.

The late Howard Eves commented that, "During his long and outstanding tenure at San Jose State University, Vern directed an enormous number of master's theses, and put out an amazing number of attractive papers... He became the authority on Fibonacci and related numbers".
