Trevor Evans (1925–1991) was a mathematician specializing in abstract algebra, finite geometry, and the word problem.
[1] His doctorate was granted based on 12 previous publications rather than on a dissertation; it was jointly advised by Graham Higman and Philip Hall.
[3] He remained at Emory for the rest of his career, despite several other visiting positions: he joined the Institute for Advanced Study in 1952, and became a research associate at the University of Chicago in 1953.
[3] His notable students included Etta Zuber Falconer, who completed her doctorate under his supervision in 1969.
He was also a recipient of the distinguished service award of the Southeastern Section of the Mathematical Association of America.
