 Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer
Brouwer's principal students were Maurits Belinfante and Arend Heyting; the latter, in turn, was the teacher of Anne Troelstra and Dirk van Dalen.
Brouwer's classes were also attended by Max Euwe, the later world chess champion, who published a game-theoretical paper on chess from the intuitionistic point of view (Euwe, 1929), and who would much later deliver Brouwer's funeral speech.
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.

 Encyclopedia: Dirk Brouwer
When he saw me carrying around my copy of The Life of L.E.J. Brouwer, Volume 1, a colleague remarked, "Brouwer, isn't he the one who wanted to reject half of mathematics?" This is the typical impression that most mathematicians have of Brouwer (and this colleague was a specialist in Nielsen fixed point theory!).
Brouwer was a very private individual, and kept not only his thoughts and emotions, but even his involvement in public affairs, very much to himself.
Brouwer's stepdaughter, Louise Peijpers, was interviewed at length by van Dalen and his assistants, and, even though she was bedridden at the time, her memory was clear and she helped flesh out the details and facts of Brouwer's past.

It is to her credit that even though she herself was a strong (and often difficult) character, and thus had her own tempestuous conflicts with her stepfather, these did not influence the reliability of her information.
In fact, this biography is as much a sophisticated analysis of Brouwer's mathematical and philosophical work as it is a narrative of his life.
Chapter 5, The New Topology, is a masterful account of the birth of 20th century topology, Brouwer's role in the process, and a plausible explanation as to why he did not develop algebraic topology, which was easily within his reach.

 Yale Astronomy: Excerpt of Astronomy at Yale 1701-1968
Meanwhile E. Brown and Dirk Brouwer were deeply immersed in the problems of theoretical mechanics.
When Brouwer took over the directorship in 1941, celestial mechanics was soon to catapult to world wide pre-eminence at Yale.
During Brouwer's regime, photometry (especially of variable stars) and astrophysics (under R. Wildt) were by no means neglected, although they played a comparatively minor role.

 The Bruce Medalists: Dirk Brouwer
Born in the Netherlands, Dirk Brouwer received his Ph.D. in 1927 at the University of Leiden and then joined the faculty at Yale University, where he worked in celestial mechanics with Ernest W. Brown.
Brouwer developed general methods for finding orbits and computing errors and applied these methods to comets, asteroids, and planets.
He was one of the first to use electronic computers for astronomical computations.

The Cincinnati Observatory joined in the effort and the congenial and constructive relationships that existed among Clemence, Brouwer, Eckert, and Herget was terminated only by the deaths of Brouwer (in 1966) and then Eckert (in 1971).
In 1963 Brouwer offered him the position of senior research associate at Yale, and Gerald was able to continue his work on the general perturbation theory of the motion of Earth.
Upon the sudden death of Brouwer in 1966 Gerald was promoted to full professor and was given the scientific and administrative responsibility for the astronomy department until such time as a new director could be found.

He traced it as a natural outgrowth of meetings organized by Dirk Brouwer in the 60's, the space age, the evolution of computational equipment, plus a feeling that a division on dynamical astronomy would give astronomers a unique forum, with time to present longer papers.
The Brouwer Award is granted for any, or all, of the following: (a) excellence in scientific research, (b) impact and influence in the field, (c) excellence in teaching and training of students, and (d) outstanding advancement and support of the field through administration, public service, or engineering achievement.
