 Raoul Bott -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Raoul Bott (born September 24 1923) is a (A person skilled in mathematics) mathematician known for numerous basic contributions to (The pure mathematics of points and lines and curves and surfaces) geometry in its broad sense.
He was born in (Capital and largest city of Hungary; located on the Danube River in north-central Hungary) Budapest, but has spent his working life in the USA.
He is also known in connection with the (Click link for more info and facts about Borel-Bott-Weil theorem) Borel-Bott-Weil theorem on representation theory of Lie groups via holomorphic (Click link for more info and facts about sheaves) sheaves and their cohomology groups; and for work on ((architecture) leaf-like architectural ornament) foliations.

 UCLA Distinguished Lecturers
Raoul Bott started his academic studies as an electrical engineer but during the course of a fantastic career, evolved into one of the great mathematicians of the second half of the twentieth century.
Bott was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1987, the Steele Career Prize of the American Mathematical Society in 1990, and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 2000.
To gain some perspective on Bott's life and works, one of the best sources is the marvelous article, The Life and Works of Raoul Bott written by Loring W. Tu which will appear in a special volume on the works of Atiyah, Singer, Bott, Hirzebruch to be published by the International Press.

 Raoul Bott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Raoul Bott (born September 24, 1923) is a mathematician known for numerous basic contributions to geometry in its broad sense.
He studied the homotopy theory of Lie groups, using methods from Morse theory, leading to the Bott periodicity theorem (1956).
This led to his role as collaborator over many years with Michael Atiyah, initially via the part played by periodicity in K-theory; he made important contributions towards the index theorem, especially in formulating related fixed-point theorems (in particular the so-called 'Woods Hole fixed-point theorem').
