Walter John Whiteley is a professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at York University in Canada.[1] He specializes in geometry and mathematics education, and is known for his expertise in structural rigidity and rigidity matroids.

Education and career

Whiteley graduated from Queen's University in 1966.[2][3]

He earned his Ph.D. in 1971 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a dissertation titled Logic and Invariant Theory supervised by Gian-Carlo Rota.[3]

He worked as an instructor at Champlain College Saint-Lambert, with a joint appointment in mathematics and humanities, from 1972 until he joined the York University faculty in 1992.[2][3]

Awards and honours

In 2009, Whiteley won the Adrien Pouliot Award of the Canadian Mathematical Society for his contributions to mathematics education.[4]

In August 2014, the Fields Institute at the University of Toronto hosted a workshop on rigidity theory and spatial reasoning, "inspired by the distinguished career of Professor Walter Whiteley".[5]
