The Reverend Frank Hilton Jackson (16 August 1870, Hull, England – 27 April 1960) was an English clergyman and mathematician who worked on basic hypergeometric series. He introduced several q-analogs such as the Jackson–Bessel functions, the Jackson- Hahn-Cigler q-addition, the Jackson derivative, and the Jackson integral.
