Graham Robert Everest (14 December 1957 in
Southwick, West Sussex – 30 July 2010) was a British mathematician working on
arithmetic dynamics and
recursive equations in
number theory.
Life
Everest studied at Bedford College (now

He was ordained a priest in the Church of England in 2006. He died of prostate cancer on 30 July 2010, leaving behind his wife and three children.
Awards
In 1983 he became a member of the London Mathematical Society. In 2012 he was awarded the Lester Randolph Ford Award jointly with Thomas Ward (mathematician), Thomas Ward for their work in diophantine equations.
