From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Flamant (1892–1940) was a French mathematician, known as the transcriber and editor of Gaston Julia's lectures published in the important monograph Leçons sur les Fonctions Uniformes à Point Singulier Essentiel Isolé (1924). According to Joseph Ritt, "Julia's monograph is probably one of the finest in the Borel collection." [1] [2]

Paul Flamant matriculated in 1913 at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) as the highest-rated student, but before graduation went to the front in WW I as a second lieutenant in the French army. He was wounded at Charleroi and taken prisoner. [3] He spent almost four years as a prisoner-of-war, then returned to the ENS and passed his agrégation (and was the highest-rated student for that year of examinations). [4] He received his doctorate from the University of Strasbourg in 1924. [5] He became a mathematics professor at the University of Strasbourg but his health was impaired for the rest of his life. At the beginning of WW II, as a captain in the reserves, he was stationed in the damp, cold bunkers of the Maginot Line. His health deteriorated and he soon died. [4]

He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1928 in Bologna and in 1936 in Oslo.
