Andrew Chiang-Fung Liu (March 15, 1947—March 26, 2024)[1] was a Canadian mathematician. He was a professor emeritus in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Alberta.[2]
Liu was born in Guangzhou, and attended New Method College in Hong Kong.[3] He then did his undergraduate studies in mathematics at McGill University,[4] and earned his Ph.D. in 1976 from the University of Alberta, under the supervision of Harvey Abbott, with the dissertation Some Results on Hypergraphs.[5]
He was the leader of the Canadian team to the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2000 (South Korea) and 2003 (Japan) and acted as vice-president of the Tournament of Towns.[6]
