Paul Gauduchon belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Paul Gauduchon as French mathematician.
Paul Gauduchon was born in 1945. His recorded nationality is France. He studied at École polytechnique and Paris Diderot University.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
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.
