Henry Parker Manning (1859-1956) was an American professor of mathematics. In 1889, he entered Johns Hopkins University to study mathematics, astronomy and physics. When he received his Ph. D. degree in 1891, his first printed paper had already appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics. When he was nearly seventy, Manning learned early Egyptian hieroglypics, and collaborated with Arnold Buffum Chace in his publication of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. He retired in 1930 and spent several years as associate editor of the American Mathematical Monthly. Amongst his other works are Non-Euclidean Geometry (1901), Irrational Numbers and Their Representation by Sequences and Series (1906), The Fourth Dimension Simply Explained (1910) and Geometry of Four Dimensions (1914).
