Norman Herbert Anning ((1883-08-28)August 28, 1883 – (1963-05-01)May 1, 1963) was a mathematician, assistant professor, professor emeritus, and instructor in mathematics, recognized and acclaimed in mathematics for publishing a proof of the characterization of the infinite sets of points in the plane with mutually integer distances, known as the Erdős–Anning theorem.
Anning was originally from Holland Township (currently Chatsworth), Grey County, Ontario, Canada.
[1][2] From 1909 to 1910, he held a teaching position in the department of Mathematics and Science at Chilliwack High School, British Columbia.
[3][4] Besides being a member of the Mathematical Association of America,[1] Anning was appointed as chairperson at the University of Michigan from 1951 to 1952,[5] and treasurer secretary from 1925 to 1926 at the same institution.
He has been solving problems for this department for more years than its present editor has known of School Science and Mathematics.
