André Weil

André Weil

André Weil (May 6, 1906 - August 6, 1998) (pronounced [ɑ̃dʁe vɛj] ) was one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, whether measured by his research work, its influence on future work, exposition or breadth. He is known for his foundational work in number theory and algebraic geometry. He was a founding member, and de facto the early leader, of the influential Bourbaki group. The philosopher Simone Weil was his sister.
