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 an 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.
