Bushnell at King's College London ( The distribution of normal integral generators in tame extensions of Q ). He was a professor at the University of East Anglia , where he had been since 1983.
Everest was ordained a priest in 2006 and followed suit in Norwich. In 2008 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, from which he died.
He dealt with the interrelationships between dynamic systems and number theory and with recursion equations in number theory.
In 1983 he became a member of the London Mathematical Society . In 2012 he and Thomas Ward received the Lester Randolph Ford Award for A repulsion motif in diophantine equations .
He was married and has three children.
