Nikolaos Hatzidakis belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Nikolaos Hatzidakis as Greek mathematician.
Nikolaos Hatzidakis was born at Berlin in 1872. He studied at National Technical University of Athens.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the foundations of mathematics were under open attack, and set theory and logic became urgent questions.
His academic posts were held at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
Nikolaos Hatzidakis died in 1942, aged 70. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
