Edward Norman Dancer FAA (born 29 December 1946, Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia) is an Australian mathematician, specializing in nonlinear analysis.
[1] Dancer received in 1969 a Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc (Hons)) from the Australian National University[1] and in 1972 a PhD from the University of Cambridge with thesis advisor Frank Smithies and thesis Bifurcation in Banach Spaces.
From 1993 to the present, he has been a full professor and chair of the school of mathematics and statistics at the University of Sydney.
[1] His present research interests include nonlinear analysis, especially degree theory, Morse theory and Conley index; applications to nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations, including singular perturbations; bifurcation theory.
[1]Dancer is also a part time professor at Swansea University.
