Gérald Tenenbaum Explained
Gérald Tenenbaum is a French mathematician and novelist, born in Nancy on 1 April 1952.[1]
He is one of the namesakes of the Erdős–Tenenbaum–Ford constant.[2]
Biography
An alumnus of the École Polytechnique, he has been professor of mathematics at the Institut Élie Cartan at Université de Lorraine (formally université Henri Poincaré, Nancy-1) since 1981.
An associate of Paul Erdős and specialist in analytic and probabilistic number theory, Gérald Tenenbaum received the A-X Gaston Julia prize in 1976, the Albert Châtelet medal in algebra and number theory in 1985 and, together with Michel Mendès France, the Paul Doistau - Émile Blutet prize from the French Academy of Sciences in 1999 [3]
While continuing his mathematical research activities, he started publishing literary works from the 1980s on: movie criticism in the Belgian magazine Regards, a theater play in 1999, and novels from 2002 on. His novel L'Ordre des jours, published in 2008 by Héloïse d'Ormesson, received the Prix Erckmann-Chatrian the same year.
