Andrew James Granville (born 7 September 1962) is a British mathematician, working in the field ofnumber theory.
Granville received his Bachelor of Arts (Honours) (1983) and hisCertificate of Advanced Studies (Distinction) (1984) fromTrinity College, Cambridge University. He received his PhD fromQueen's University in 1987[1] and was inducted into theRoyal Society of Canada in 2006.
He has been a faculty member at theUniversité de Montréal since 2002. Before moving to Montreal he was a mathematics professor at theUniversity of Georgia (UGA) from 1991 until 2002. During his postdoctoral years, he worked at theUniversity of Toronto and theInstitute for Advanced Study. He was a section speaker in the 1994International Congress of Mathematicians together withCarl Pomerance from UGA.

Granville's work is mainly innumber theory, in particularanalytic number theory. Along withCarl Pomerance andW. R. (Red) Alford he proved the infinitude ofCarmichael numbers in 1994.[2] This proof was based on a conjecture given byPaul Erdős.
Granville was the first recipient of theRibenboim Prize of the Canadian Number Theory Association, in 1999. Granville won aLester R. Ford Award in 2007[3] and again in 2009.[4] In 2008, he won theChauvenet Prize for expository writing from theMathematical Association of America for his paper"It is easy to determine whether a given integer is prime".[5][6] In 2012, he became a fellow of theAmerican Mathematical Society.[7]
Andrew Granville, in collaboration with his sister Jennifer Granville, a film writer,[8] wrotePrime Suspects: The Anatomy of Integers and Permutations, a graphic novel that is a "mathematical detective story"[8] and investigates key concepts in mathematics.[9]
