  Brouwer
Brouwer was an unsalaried lecturer at the University of Amsterdam (1909), and was professor of set theory, function theory and axiomatics there from 1912 to 1951.
Brouwer was a major contributor to the theory of topology and was considered by many to be its founder.
Brouwer's doctrine differed substantially from the formalism of David Hilbert and the logicism of Bertrand Russell.

  Brouwer biography
Brouwer was elected to the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1912 and, in the same year, was appointed extraordinary professor of set theory, function theory and axiomatics at the University of Amsterdam; he would hold the post until he retired in 1951.
Brouwer was somewhat like Nietzsche in his ability to step outside the established cultural tradition in order to subject its most hallowed presuppositions to cool and objective scrutiny; and his questioning of principles of thought led him to a Nietzschean revolution in the domain of logic.
Brouwer's projected reconstruction of the whole edifice of mathematics remained a dream, but his ideal of constructivism is now woven into our whole fabric of mathematical thought, and it has inspired, as it still continues to inspire, a wide variety of inquiries in the constructivist spirit which have led to major advances in mathematical knowledge.

 Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Brouwer insists that this is not fair, and that unless the Germans are to be treated better, the conference should be boycotted.
Brouwer later said that this loss was instrumental in the shift of his main interest from mathematics to philosophy.
Brouwer was prepared to follow his philosophy of mind to its ultimate conclusions; whether the reconstructed mathematics was compatible or incompatible with classical mathematics was a secondary question, and never decisive.

 Bracks betting big on Brouwer - General - www.theage.com.au
What is in question is Bracks's insistence that Brouwer and his investigators are the best model for tackling corruption, when other states have handed the responsibility to an external body with more manpower and more resources.
He argues Brouwer's independence is clear-cut, given that he reports directly to Parliament and his position is enshrined in the state's constitution - meaning his powers can only be changed if a two-thirds majority of MPs agree.
Brouwer's independence as Ombudsman has yet to be demonstrated, and Bracks has yet to deliver on the promise of unlimited resources.

 Leo Brouwer (1939-) Cuban Composer: MusicWeb-International
So Brouwer was part of the lineage of artists involved in different aspects of music through the instrument and it was natural that he played the traditional repertoire of classical and romantic pieces, giving his first public performance at the age of 17; but already his composing was coming to the fore.

 Reconstructing Brouwer
.  This is known as Brouwer's fixed-point theorem, and it has been used to establish fundamental existence theorems in many different branches of mathematics (e.g., the theory of differential equations).
For a simple one-dimensional interval, the fixed-point theorem is fairly obvious, because any continuous function x' = f(x) of an interval, say from 0 to 1, into that same range must somewhere meet the line representing x' = x, as illustrated below.
Given any uniformly continuous map from the disk to the disk, and any e > 0, there exists a point which is not moved by more than e from it's original position.
