Amnon Yekutieli is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Amnon Yekutieli as Israeli mathematician.
Amnon Yekutieli was born at Rehovot in 1959. His recorded nationality is Israel. He studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Weizmann Institute of Science.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
That the work was done from Israel matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Amnon Yekutieli is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
