The IMJ-PRG is the largest research unit linked to the doctoral school of mathematical sciences of Paris center (École doctorale de sciences mathématiques de Paris-Centre). It has its own journal, the Journal de l'institut de mathématiques de Jussieu, published by Cambridge University Press and covering all areas of fundamental mathematics. [2]
The center of the campus is a skyscraper called Tour Zamansky, or Tour Jussieu, housing the university's administrative offices. Its height is 24 floors or 90 meters. Some of the campus' research libraries (in mathematics, for instance) are among the largest and with the widest selection of books in France. Campus restaurants are located in the ...
Éric Leichtnam is director of research at the CNRS at the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu in Paris. His fields of interest are noncommutative geometry, ergodic theory, Dirichlet problem, non-commutative residue.
The Jussieu Campus is built on the site of what was once the Abbaye Saint-Victor, founded in 1113 by philosopher and theologian William of Champeaux.Closed in 1790 and destroyed in 1811, all that remains of the Abbey today are a few foundations still visible beneath the Esclangon building, used as a cellar when the Halle Aux Vins of Paris was set up there between 1813 and 1955.
Marie-France Vignéras (born 1946) is a French mathematician. She is a Professor Emeritus of the Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu in Paris. [1] She is known for her proof published in 1980 of the existence of isospectral non-isometric Riemann surfaces. [2] [3] [4] Such surfaces show that one cannot hear the shape of a hyperbolic drum.
Jussieu was born in Lyon, France, in 1748, as one of 10 children, to Christophle de Jussieu, an amateur botanist. [1] His father's three younger brothers were also botanists. He went to Paris in 1765 to be with his uncle Bernard and to study medicine, graduating with a doctorate in 1770, with a thesis on animal and vegetable physiology. [2]
Raymond Lewis Johnson (born 1943) is an American mathematician, currently a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland, College Park [1] and an adjunct professor of mathematics at Rice University. [2] He was the first African-American student at Rice University, and the first African-American mathematics professor at the University of ...
The ISUP is the oldest training statistics in France: it was founded in 1922 (by the mathematician Émile Borel) 20 years before the ENSAE and 72 years before the ENSAI. At the end of the Great War, Émile Borel, one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, was appointed to the Chair of Probability and Mathematical Physics at the University ...
