Marie-Claude Gaudel

French mathematician and computer scientist

In the history of mathematics, Marie-Claude Gaudel is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Marie-Claude Gaudel as French mathematician and computer scientist.

Marie-Claude Gaudel was born at Nancy in 1946. Her recorded nationality is France. She studied at Nancy-Université.

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

Her academic posts were held at University of Paris.

The recorded fields of work are algorithm and theoretical computer science.

Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.

Recognition followed: CNRS silver medal (1996).

That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
