Reinhard Diestel belongs to the mathematical record as a figure whose results outlasted the problems that prompted them.
The record lists Reinhard Diestel as German mathematician.
Reinhard Diestel was born in 1959. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at University of Cambridge.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of Hamburg and Chemnitz University of Technology.
Mathematics is the one discipline whose results, once proved, are never overturned.
That the work was done from Germany matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Reinhard Diestel is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
