Christian Krattenthaler is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Christian Krattenthaler as Austrian mathematician.
Christian Krattenthaler was born at Vienna in 1958. His recorded nationality is Austria. He studied at University of Vienna.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of Vienna.
The recorded fields of work are combinatorics.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
The honours record reads: Wittgenstein-Prize (2007).
That the work was done from Austria matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Christian Krattenthaler is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
