  Yutaka Taniyama Biography
Yutaka Taniyama (谷山 豊, November 12, 1927 - November 17, 1958) was a Japanese mathematician.
Taniyama was born in Kisai, Saitama (north of Tokyo), Japan.
Taniyama's fame is mainly due to two problems posed by him at the symposium on Algebraic Number Theory held in Tokyo in 1955 (His meeting with Weil at this symposium was to have a major influence on Taniyama's work).

 Yutaka Taniyama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A partial and refined case of this conjecture for elliptic curves over rationals is called the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture or the Taniyama-Shimura theorem whose statement he subsequently refined in collaboration with Goro Shimura.
Taniyama's ideas had been criticized as unsubstantiated and his behavior had occasionally been deemed peculiar.
Taniyama also mentioned in the note his concern that some might be harmed by his suicide and his hope that the act would not cast "a dark shadow over that person."

 Yutaka Taniyama Information
The names Taniyama, Shimura and Weil have all been attached to this conjecture, but the idea is essentially due to Taniyama.
After Taniyama's death, Goro Shimura stated that: He was always kind to his colleagues, especially to his juniors, and he genuinely cared about their welfare.

 Yutaka Taniyama - Wikipédia
Yutaka Taniyama (谷山 豊), né le 12 novembre 1927 et mort le 17 novembre 1958, est un mathématicien japonais connu pour la conjecture Taniyama-Shimura.
Le théorème complet conjecturé par Taniyama et Shimura, et popularisé par André Weil, fut finalement démontré en 1999 par Breuil, Conrad, Diamond, et Taylor qui, en s'appuyant sur le travail de Wiles, remplirent par sauts de puce les cas restants jusqu'à la démonstration du résultat complet.
Taniyama s'est suicidé en 1958 en laissant une note derrière lui, en s'excusant auprès de ses collègues pour ce geste qu'il ne s'explique pas lui même : Jusqu'à hier, je n'avais aucune intention de me tuer.

Gemeinsam mit Goro Shimura stellte er 1955-1957 die Taniyama-Shimura-Vermutung auf; diese besagt, dass elliptische Kurven immer auch als Modulformen ausgedrückt werden können, und stellte damit erstmals eine Verbindung zwischen algebraischer Geometrie und Funktionen der Zahlentheorie her.

Specifically, a mathematician named Yutaka Taniyama earlier discovered that it could be used not just on languages, but on numbers too.
Modular analysis was first applied to numbers by a mathematician named Yutaka Taniyama.
In 1955, Taniyama found that price charts, or “elliptic curves,” could be modular.

 Taniyama–Shimura theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The curve we obtain by finding the corresponding cusp form, and then constructing a curve from it, is isogenous to the original curve (but not in general isomorphic to it).
An incorrect version of this theorem was first conjectured by Yutaka Taniyama in September 1955.
With Goro Shimura he improved its rigor until 1957.

In particular, he tackled the Shimura-Taniyama-Weil conjecture, which provides links between the branches of mathematics known as algebraic geometry and complex analysis.
That conjecture dates back to 1955, when it was published in Japanese as a research problem by the late Yutaka Taniyama.
Goro Shimura of Princeton and Andre Weil of the Institute for Advanced Study provided key insights in formulating the conjecture, which proposes a special kind of equivalence between the mathematics of objects called elliptic curves and the mathematics of certain motions in space.
