Comment: This should not have bee declined for need meeting WP:PROF, without checking the references . for they show a very high level of notability , especially in mathemativcs. where citation figures are usually much lower. DGG ( talk ) 09:17, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO / WP:NSCHOLAR - lacks any references or sources. Wikipedia itself is not an acceptable or reliable source. Dan arndt (talk) 02:42, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Brailey Sims (b 26/10/1947) is an Australian mathematicia born and Educated in Newcastlw, New South Wales. He received his BSc from [[University of New South Wales| in 1969 and, under the supervision of J. R. Giles a PhD from the ame university in 1972 . He was on the faculty of the University of New England (Australia) from 1972 to 1989. In 1990 he took up an appointment at the University of Newcastle (Australia). where he was Head of Mathematics 1997 - 2000.
He is best known for his work in nonlinear analysis and especially metric fixed point theory and its connections with Banach and metric space geometry, and for his efforts to promote and enhance mathematics at the secondary and tertiary level.
