Szolem Mandelbrojt is remembered in mathematics for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Szolem Mandelbrojt as French mathematician (1899-1983).
Szolem Mandelbrojt was born at Warsaw in 1899. His recorded nationality is France. He was educated at Paris-Sorbonne University - Paris IV and National University of Kharkiv.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
The record gives his occupations as mathematician, professor and university teacher.
His affiliations include Rice University, Collège de France and University of Lille.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
His recorded fields of work are mathematics.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Officer of the Legion of Honour (1964) and Knight of the Legion of Honour (1948).
Working from France shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
