1906-1992
Dieudonné was born in 1906 in Lille, France. He attended schools in Paris and earned his B.S. and Ph.D. at the Ecole Normale Supérieure and was considered one of the leading French mathematicians of his era. Much of his work was devoted to abstract analysis and algebraic geometry, but he began his career by concentrating on the analysis of polynomials. Dieudonné was a founder of the Bourbaki Group and published essays on algebraic geometry and topology, which are still held in high regard by his followers. Among his writings, the best known today are La Géométrie des groupes classiques (1955), Foundations of Modern Analysis (1960), and Algèbre linéaire et géométrie élémentaire (1964). Jean Dieudonné died in 1992.
