Roger Conant Lyndon (1917-1988) was an American mathematician, for many years a professor at the University of Michigan. He is known for Lyndon words, the Curtis-Hedlund-Lyndon theorem, Craig-Lyndon interpolation and the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence.Lyndon was born on December 18, 1917 in Calais, Maine, the son of a Unitarian minister. His mother died when he was two years old, after which he and his father moved several times to towns in Massachusetts and New York. He did his undergraduate studies at Harvard University, originally intending to study literature but eventually settling on mathematics, and graduated in 1939. He took a job as a banker, but soon afterwards returned to graduate school at Harvard, earning a masters degree in 1941. After a brief teaching stint at the Georgia Institute of Technology, he returned again to Harvard, earning a Ph.D. while teaching navigation to naval officers.
