James Weldon Cannon
Predefinição:Info/Biografia/Wikidata James Weldon Cannon (Bellefonte, Pensilvânia, Predefinição:Dtlink) é um matemático estadunidense, que trabalha com topologia geométrica.
Cannon obteve um doutorado em 1969 na Universidade de Utah, orientado por Cecil Edmund Burgess, com a tese Tame subsets of 2-spheres in euclidean 3-space.[1] A partir de 1977 foi professor da Universidade de Wisconsin-Madison e a partir de 1986 da Universidade Brigham Young.
Foi palestrante convidado do Congresso Internacional de Matemáticos em Helsinque (1978: The characterization of topological manifolds of dimension ).[2] Em 2012 foi eleito fellow da American Mathematical Society.
