Jean-Pierre Ramis worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Jean-Pierre Ramis as French mathematician.
Jean-Pierre Ramis was born at Montpellier in 1943. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at École Normale Supérieure.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics, dynamical systems and differential algebra.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: Paul Doistau-Émile Blutet Prize (1982) and Alexandre Joannidès prize (2002).
That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
