Jean-Marc Deshouillers

French mathematician

Jean-Marc Deshouillers belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.

The record lists Jean-Marc Deshouillers as French mathematician.

Jean-Marc Deshouillers was born at Paris in 1946. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at École polytechnique and Pierre and Marie Curie University.

Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.

His academic posts were held at Bordeaux Segalen University and University of Bordeaux 1.

The recorded fields of work are mathematics and analytic number theory.

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.
