	One in a million - BCM - Summer 2004
		I would, therefore, choose the collected papers of Jean-Pierre Serre, a mathematician now retired from the Collège de France, in Paris.
		Serre's contributions span a half-century and include fundamental developments in algebra, number theory, complex analysis, topology, and algebraic geometry.
		Serre's work is distinguished by its breadth and its depth.

	Mathematische Arbeitstagung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The early participants included Jean-Pierre Serre, Michael Atiyah and Frank Adams.
		The institutional structure was reinforced from 1969 by the Sonderforschungsbereich Theoretische Mathematik programme, and from 1980 by the founding of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.
		For example, in 1962 the meeting was dominated by talks on K-theory, at that time the breaking news.

	Deligne
		He also worked closely with Jean-Pierre Serre, leading to important results on the l-adic representations attached to modular forms, and the conjectural functional equations of L-functions.
		A remarkable feature of Pierre Deligne's thinking is that, when confronted with a new problem or a new theory, he understands and, so to speak, makes his own its basic principles at a tremendous speed, and is immediately able to discuss the problem or use the theory as a completely familiar object.
		Pierre Deligne was born in Etterbeek, one of the nineteen suburban districts that, together with central Brussels, make up Greater Brussels.

		Buy.com - A Course in Arithmetic : Jean-Pierre Serre : ISBN 0387900403
		Serre's A Course in Arithmetic is a concentrated, modern introduction to basically three areas of number theory, quadratic forms, Dirichlet's density theorem, and modular forms.
		The first edition was very well accepted and is now one of the leading introductory texts on the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level.From the reviews:..." The book is carefully written - in particular very much self-contained.

	Fibration - TheBestLinks.com - Cartesian product, Category theory, Fundamental group, Homeomorphism, ...
		A fibration with the homotopy lifting property for CW complexes is often called fibration in the sense of Serre, in honour of the part played by the concept in the thesis of Jean-Pierre Serre.
		One of the main desirable properties of the Serre spectral sequence is to account for the action of the fundamental group of the base X on the homology of the total space Y.
		This established in algebraic topology the notion of spectral sequence, in a way that separated it out from the notion of sheaf (both concepts together having been implicit in the pioneer treatment of Jean Leray).

	Interview with a mathematician
		Jean-Pierre Serre was born in 1926 in France.
		While in Singapore, Professor Serre delivered two lectures on algebraic curves over finite fields and one lecture on the Ramanujan function.
		On February 14, 1985, he gave an interview in which he discussed various aspects of his mathematical career and his views of mathematics.

		There was also a "Maths Carnival" for school children, at which Serre presented prizes to the winners of mathematics competitions.
		Among the events were the Prizewinner's Abel Lecture on "Prime numbers, equations and modular forms" and the Abel Symposium, with lectures on topics related to Serre's work.
		On 12 July 2003, a slab commemorating the first Bourbaki congress ("Birth of Nicolas Bourbaki"!) was unveiled at a ceremony at the Besse en Chandesse biological station of the University Blaise Pascal (Clermont-Ferrand, France), in the presence of A. Bouvier, Recteur d'Académie, and André Gay, Mayor of Besse.

		The appendix consists of a letter of {\it A. Grothendieck}, dated 16/08/64, to Serre, and two extracts of ``Recoltes et Semailles''.
		Here both Serre's and Grothendieck's profound insights and their interplay reveal themselves once more.
		If $k$ is a number field the $G\sb k$ is related to the Serre groups $S\sb{\germ m}$.

		To prove this fact (the epsilon conjecture), it was enought for Ribet to prove a conjecture of Serre on Galois representations.
		Thus Frey, Ribet and Serre (and others) reduced Fermat to Taniyama-Shimura....the rest is history.
		Before I was wondering if the Nonius generators satisfied Serre relations.

	Concerns of Young Mathematicians Comments Serre Receives Abel Prize
		Jean-Pierre Serre is a great mathematician (although certainly not a great teacher), but what is the point of awarding him a new prize of this amount, after the Fields Medal, and numerous other prizes and awards?
		Just to be sure that the message is clear: Abel was a young, original mathematician, opening new fields of mathematics and new methods of looking to mathematics, who died ill and young, by lack of support and resources, having a spent considerable energy to get some stable position and recognition.
		The two commissions involved in choosing the first recipient of the Abel prize have succeeded in their apparent goal: making it equal or worse to a Nobel prize in Mathematics, with all the pompous ridicule of these establishment prizes.

		The book is by Serre so it goes without saying it one of the best if not the best book on the market.
		His failure to deal with the additional complexities of the infinite group case (which he indicates in the title) is a small problem.

	Jean-pierre Serre - Hotel Resource Book Store
		Of course Serre is a leading expert in the field, but...
		The same problem with all Bourbaki authors: They treat the subject in a very concise, abstract, and authoritative way, but present almost no motivation to introduce the subject, and they are not so used to give extensive and accurate references.
		This book is intended as a short concise overview of the theory of complex semisimple Lie algebras.

		The name H-space was suggested by Jean-Pierre Serre in honor of Heinz Hopf.
		Compared to topological groups, H spaces may lack associativity and inverses.
