Edward Charles "Ted" Titchmarsh (June 1, 1899 – January 18, 1963) was a leading British mathematician.{{mathgenealogy|name=Edward Charles Titchmarsh|id=18580}}{{MacTutor Biography|id=Titchmarsh}}
Education
Titchmarsh was educated at King Edward VII School (Sheffield) and Balliol College, Oxford, where he began his studies in October 1917.
Career
Titchmarsh was known for work in analytic number theory, Fourier analysis and other parts of mathematical analysis. He wrote several classic books in these areas; his book on the Riemann zeta-function was reissued in a 1986 edition edited by Roger Heath-Brown.
Titchmarsh was Savilian Professor of Geometry at the University of Oxford from 1932 to 1963. He was a Plenary Speaker at the ICM in 1954 in Amsterdam.
He was on the governing body of Abingdon School from 1935-1947.{{cite web |url=https://www.abingdon.org.uk/uploads/school/files/abingdonian/1935_January_V007_N013.pdf#page=1|title=School Notes|publisher=The Abingdonian}}
