Centre De Mathématiques Laurent-Schwartz
} The Centre de mathématiques Laurent-Schwartz (CMLS) is a joint research unit ( UMR 7640) of France's ''Centre national de la recherche scientifique'' (CNRS) and the École Polytechnique. It is located on the site of ''École Polytechnique'' in Palaiseau. International reputation According to an AERES report from December 2013, the CMLS is an excellent institute for fundamental mathematics with an abundant scientific output at the highest international level. Despite its small size, the CMLS is a prestigious institute in mathematics, with its tradition of excellence in fundamental research, its outstanding mathematicians, its international influence, the seminars it co-hosts, and its editorial activity. History of the Center The ''École Polytechniques first CNRS laboratory ''Laboratoire Leprince-Ringuet'' was created by Louis Leprince-Ringuet in 1936. Later, in 1958, Louis Michel founded in Essonne the ''Centre de physique théorique'' (Center for Theoretical Physics) and ...

Pierre Samuel
Pierre Samuel (12 September 1921 – 23 August 2009) was a French mathematician, known for his work in commutative algebra and its applications to algebraic geometry. The two-volume work ''Commutative Algebra'' that he wrote with Oscar Zariski is a classic. Other books of his covered projective geometry and algebraic number theory. Early life and education Samuel studied at the Lycée Janson-de-Sailly in Paris before attending the École Normale Supérieure where he studied for his Agrégé de mathematique. He received his Master of Arts and then a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1947, under the supervision of Oscar Zariski, with a thesis "Ultrafilters and Compactification of Uniform Spaces". Career Samuel ran a Paris seminar during the 1960s, and became Professeur émérite at the Université Paris-Sud (Orsay). His lectures on unique factorization domains published by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research played a significant role in computing the Picard group of a ...
