In the history of mathematics, Geneviève Raugel is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Geneviève Raugel as French mathematician.
Geneviève Raugel was born at Strasbourg in 1951. Her recorded nationality is France. She studied at École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses and University of Rennes.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
Her academic posts were held at National Center for Scientific Research and University of Paris-Sud.
The recorded fields of work are dynamical system and numerical analysis.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Geneviève Raugel died in 2019, aged 68. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
