Paulo Ribenboim Explained
Paulo Ribenboim (born March 13, 1928) is a Brazilian-Canadian mathematician who specializes in number theory.
Biography
Ribenboim was born into a Jewish family in Recife, Brazil. He received his BSc in mathematics from the University of São Paulo in 1948, and won a fellowship to study with Jean Dieudonné in France at the University of Nancy in the early 1950s, where he became a close friend of Alexander Grothendieck.[1] He has contributed to the theory of ideals and of valuations.[2]
Ribenboim has authored 246 publications including 13 books. He has been at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, since the 1960s, where he remains a professor emeritus.
Jean Dieudonné was one of his doctoral advisors. Andrew Granville, Jan Minac, Karl Dilcher and Aron Simis have been doctoral students of Ribenboim.[3]
The Ribenboim Prize of the Canadian Number Theory Association is named in his honor.
Personal life
In 1951, Ribenboim married Huguette Demangelle, a French Catholic woman who he met in France. The couple have two children and five grandchildren, and have lived in Canada since 1962.
