Andrew Guinand

Andrew Paul Guinand (known as Andrew Guinand) was an Australian mathematician and a professor at the University of New England.

Early life and education Guinand attended St Peter's College, Adelaide from 1924 to 1929. In 1930, he entered St Mark's College of the University of Adelaide to study mathematics. After graduating in 1933, Guinand attended the University of Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, where Edward Charles Titchmarsh supervised his doctoral research. From 1937 to 1938, he studied at Göttingen, after which he studied at Princeton University, until in 1940 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and served as a navigator.

In 1959, he published a paper on the Poisson summation formula for which he presented a simpler solution. Guinand's work on this problem was largely forgotten and remained in obscurity until it was re-discovered by Yves Meyer in 2015.
