from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norman Blackburn (born May 27, 1930 in Huddersfield ; † May 24, 2018 ) was a British mathematician who dealt with group theory and especially finite groups .

Blackburn received his doctorate in 1957 under Philip Hall at Cambridge University (Trinity College) (Problems on the Theory of Finite Groups of Prime-Power Order). From 1958 he was a lecturer at the Victoria University of Manchester . From 1965 to 1975 he was a professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago and from 1975 Fielden professor at the University of Manchester.

In the early 1980s he was co-author of the second and third volumes of the monograph on finite groups by Bertram Huppert (the first volume appeared in 1967).

In 1978 he received an honorary Master of Science from the University of Manchester.
