Cambridge ScD John Kingman’s mathematical work is remarkable for both its breadth and its depth But what shines out from everything he does, whether his written papers and books or his lectures and seminars, is lucidity Kingman is always clear, and lucid This even extends to his handwriting— small, neat and beautifully legible The Wiley typesetters who set his 1972 book worked from his handwritten manuscript,... both the Royal Statistical Society (1987–89) and the London Mathematical Society (1990–92) He has also served as President of the European Mathematical Society (2003–06) He received the LMS Berwick Prize in 1967, the RSS Guy Medal in silver in 1981, and the RS Royal Medal in 1983 (for his work on queueing theory, regenerative phenomena and mathematical genetics) He holds a number of honorary doctorates... by Bobrowski, A 2 Books edited [E1] Ibragimov, I A., and Linnik, Yu V 1971 Independent and Stationary Sequences of Random Variables Groningen: Wolters-Noordhoff Publishing With a supplementary chapter by I A Ibragimov and V V Petrov Translation from the Russian edited by J F C Kingman [E2] Bodmer, W F., and Kingman, J F C (eds) 1983 Mathematical Genetics: Proceedings of a Royal Society Meeting held...
