Christian Reiher

German mathematician

Christian Reiher belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.

The record lists Christian Reiher as German mathematician.

Christian Reiher was born at Starnberg in 1984. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and University of Rostock.

Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.

His academic posts were held at University of Hamburg.

The recorded fields of work are mathematics.

Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.

Recognition followed: European Prize in Combinatorics (2017).

That the work was done from Germany matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Christian Reiher is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
