Edward Waring (1736–1798) was an English mathematician known for his contributions to number theory, particularly to the study of partitions and the properties of numbers. He is perhaps best known for Waring's problem, which conjectures that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of a fixed number of natural numbers raised to a certain power. The problem has historical significance and has led to extensive research and developments in number theory.
