Sigismundus Suevus worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Sigismundus Suevus as Silesian pastor and mathematician (1527-1596).
Sigismundus Suevus was born at Kożuchów in 1527.
Symbolic algebra was taking shape in this period, and printing let a proof reach mathematicians who would never meet its author.
The recorded fields of work are theology, poetry and administration and management of the church.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
Sigismundus Suevus died in 1596, aged 69. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
