Death:Death, Cause unspecified 29 November 1992 (Age 86) chart Placidus Equal_H.
French mathematician, notable for research in abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, and functional analysis, for close involvement with the Nicolas Bourbaki pseudonymous group and the Éléments de géométrie algébrique project of Alexander Grothendieck, and as a historian of mathematics, particularly in the fields of functional analysis and algebraic topology. His work on the classical groups (the book La Géométrie des groupes classiques was published in 1955), and on formal groups, introducing what now are called Dieudonné modules, had a major effect on those fields. He was brought up in Lille, with a formative stay in England where he was introduced to algebra. In 1924 he was admitted to the École Normale Supérieure, where André Weil was a classmate. He began working, conventionally enough, in complex analysis. In 1934 he was one of the group of normaliens convened by Weil, which would become Bourbaki. He died on 29 November 1992, aged 86, in Paris. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less

Dieudonn Jean was a French mathematician and physicist. He was born in Lille, France, on July 1, 1906. He studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, where he received his doctorate in 1928. Jean's work in mathematics was focused on the theory of functions of several complex variables. He made important contributions to the theory of harmonic functions and the theory of holomorphic functions. He also did work in the field of algebraic geometry. Jean's work in physics was focused on the theory of quantum mechanics. He made important contributions to the understanding of the Schrödinger equation and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Jean was a member of the French Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was also a recipient of the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics. Jean died in Paris, France, on December 29, 1998.
