[1] Higman did his undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia,[1] and received his Ph.D. in 1952 from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign under Reinhold Baer.
[2] He served on the faculty of mathematics at the University of Michigan from 1956 to 1998.
[1] His work on homological aspects of group representation theory established the concept of a relatively-projective module and explained its role in the theory of module decompositions.
