Abstract
THE chair of mathematics at University College, Ibadan, Nigeria, has now been filled by the election of Dr. F. V. Atkinson. Educated at St. Paul‘s School and at the Queen‘s College, Oxford (of which he was an open scholar during 1934-37), Dr. Atkinson was later a Senior Demy of Magdalen. During the War he served with the Army in India, reaching the rank of major, and he returned to Oxford in 1946 as lecturer in mathematics at Christchurch. Dr. Atkinson‘s work has been chiefly concerned with the analytical theory of numbers, and the properties of the Riemann ζ-function.
