Alexander Grothendieck
Alexander Grothendieck was a mathematician who became a leading figure in the creation of modern algebraic geometry. His work extended the scope of this field and added elements of commutative algebra, homologous algebra, sheaf theory and categorial theory until its foundation, while the so-called Mandarin His "relative" point led to revolutionary advances in many areas of pure mathematics. He is considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the 20th century. Born in Germany, Grothendieck grew up and lived mainly in France, and he and his family were persecuted by the Nazi regime. For most of his working life, however, he is practically stateless. Because he systematically spelled his first name "Alexander" not "Alexander" and his surname, taken from his mother, was "Grothendieck" in low German, style Dutch, he is sometimes mistaken for Dutch descent. Grothendieck began his productive and productive career as a mathematician in 1949.
