Jan Hendrik Bruinier belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Jan Hendrik Bruinier as German mathematician.
Jan Hendrik Bruinier was born at Wiesbaden in 1971. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Heidelberg University.
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 Technical University of Darmstadt and University of Cologne.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
That the work was done from Germany matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Jan Hendrik Bruinier is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
