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]
Bust of Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu by David d'Angers (1837). Antoine Laurent de Jussieu (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃twan loʁɑ̃ də ʒysjø]; 12 April 1748 – 17 September 1836) was a French botanist, notable as the first to publish a natural classification of flowering plants; much of his system remains in use today.

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.
The History of Mathematics archive was an outgrowth of Mathematical MacTutor system, a HyperCard database by the same authors, [4] which won them the European Academic Software award in 1994. In the same year, they founded their web site. It has since expanded to include biographies of more than 3200 mathematicians and scientists. [5] [6]
