Frank Adams
John Frank Adams FRS (5 November 1930 – 7 January 1989) was a British mathematician, one of the founders of homotopy theory. ==Life== He was born in Woolwich, a suburb in south-east London, and attended Bedford School. He began research as a student of Abram Besicovitch, but soon switched to algebraic topology. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1956. His thesis, written under the direction of Shaun Wylie, was titled ''On spectral sequences and self-obstruction invariants''. He held the Fielden Chair at the University of Manchester (1964–1970), and became Lowndean Professor of Astronomy and Geometry at the University of Cambridge (1970–1989). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1964. His interests included mountaineering—he would demonstrate how to climb right round a table at parties (a Whitney traverse)—and the game of Go. He died in a car accident in Brampton, Cambridgeshire. There is a memorial plaque for him in the Chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge.
