Yasuyuki Kawahigashi worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Yasuyuki Kawahigashi as Japanese mathematician.
Yasuyuki Kawahigashi was born in 1962. His recorded nationality is Japan. He studied at University of Tokyo and University of California, Los Angeles.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at University of Tokyo.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
The honours record reads: Spring Prize (2002).
That the work was done from Japan matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Yasuyuki Kawahigashi is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
