ALEXANDRE GROTHENDIECK : LE MATHÉMATICIEN QUI N'AIMAIT PAS LES MATHÉMATICIENS #CMH6

Discover the man who is perhaps the greatest mathematician of the 20th century, a pioneer of ecology, who withdrew as a hermit for the rest of his life. ERRATUM: • I say in the video that he ended his life with his mother. This is a mistake on my part, as his mother died in 1957. I meant to say that he ended his life in HIS MOTHER'S HOUSE. • Another point: Lassere is not located in Ardèche, but in Ariège; • Some people have pointed out to me that since his mother was Protestant, technically, he was not Jewish. • He did not go to Paris in 1933 but in 1939 (his parents were there). • Finally, the video might lead one to believe that he worked with Dieudonné and Swartz in Paris, but it was in Nancy. • Small correction. His teacher didn't recommend him to Élie Cartan, but to his son, Henri Cartan. Sorry, and thanks to those who corrected me!
