In the history of mathematics, Tord Ganelius is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Tord Ganelius as Mathematician, Professor (1925–2016).
Tord Ganelius was born at Stockholm in 1925. He studied at Stockholm University.
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 Gothenburg.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics.
Mathematical work is judged by whether anyone can build on it, and that judgement takes decades.
Tord Ganelius died in 2016, aged 91. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
