 | Higman's lectures contained a mixture of classical material and his own recent research, which was very wide-ranging. |
| Graham Higman was also interested in infinite groups, especially combinatorial group theory, embedding theorems and decision problems, so we got a very wide education. |
| The algebra research students, mostly supervised by Graham Higman and Peter Neumann, formed a very lively and sociable crowd; they included Peter Cameron, who is now a leading figure in permutation groups and combinatorics, and my future wife Mary Tyrer, working in combinatorial group theory. |
