Coralie Colmez belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Coralie Colmez as French mathematics tutor and author.
Coralie Colmez was born at Paris in 1988. Her recorded nationality is France. She studied at Gonville and Caius College.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Coralie Colmez is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
