Biography
Prof Singerman studied at the University of Birmingham 1962-5, graduating with a first class undergraduate degree in Mathematics.
He continued his studies at Birmingham from 1966 to 1969 for a Ph.D supervised by A. M. Macbeath. His Ph.D. topic was related to discrete groups and Riemann surfaces. (Thesis title: Non-Euclidean crystallographic groups and Riemann surfaces.)
He started his teaching career at the University of Birmingham from 1969-1970 then moved to the University of Southampton as a lecturer in 1970 where he taught undergraduate mathematics until 2007.
He was an external examiner in the University of Maynooth in Eire for three years and for the complex analysis course at the Open University, for three years.
For 5 years he was the book reviews editor for the London Mathematical Society and was the founding editor for the European Mathematics Journal.
He published 2 textbooks, 61 mathematics papers and a small number of papers in music.
He was a Ph.D. examiner at Kings college, (London), Cambridge, Birmingham, Liverpool, Aberdeen and the OU. Overseas, he was a Ph.D. examiner in Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid and Linkoping (Sweden.)
