Jacques Salomon Hadamard Born: 8 Dec 1865 in Versailles, France Died: 17 Oct 1963 in Paris, France Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page Jacques Hadamard was good at all subjects at school except mathematics. He excelled in particular in Greek and Latin. He wrote in 1936:- ... in arithmetic, until the seventh grade, I was last or nearly last. Jules Tannery and Emile Picard While working on his doctorate he was a school teacher, teaching , and he obtained a doctorate in 1892 with a thesis on functions defined by Taylor Hadamard worked in Bordeaux, then he was elected to a chair in Paris. His most important result is the prime number theorem which he proved in 1896. This states that:- The number of primes n tends to as n/ln n. This theorem was conjectured in the 18th century, but it was not proved until 1896, when Hadamard and (independently) Charles de la , used complex analysis. The proof was outlined by Riemann in 1851, but the necessary tools had not been developed at that time. This problem was one of the major motivations for the development of complex analysis from 1851 to 1896 when Riemann 's outlined proof was finally completed.

Amédée Hadamard, who was of a Jewish background, was a teacher who taught several subjects such as classics, grammar, history and geography while Jacques' mother taught piano giving private lessons in their home. At the time that Jacques was born Amédée was teaching at the Lycée Impérial in Versailles but the family moved to Paris when Jacques was three years old when his father took up a position at the Lycée Charlemagne. This was an unfortunate time for a child to be growing up in Paris . The Franco-German War which began on 19 July 1870 went badly for France and on 19 September 1870 the Germans began a siege of Paris .

Read This! The MAA Online book review column Jacques Hadamard, A Universal Mathematician by Vladimir Maz'ya and Tatyana Shaposhnikova Reviewed by George L. Ashline Once called "the living legend of mathematics", Jacques Hadamard (1865-1963) had a tremendous influence on the development of mathematics. As Vladimir Maz'ya and Tatyana Shaposhnikova state in their prologue, despite the "kaleidoscopic conglomeration of methods and ideas" of mathematics in the twentieth century which make an encyclopedic knowledge of it a practical impossibility, "Hadamard was able to know and enhance all areas of mathematics of his time." [p. 4] In Jacques Hadamard, A Universal Mathematician , Maz'ya and Shaposhnikova create an account of the life of this "living legend" through his own words as well as those of his relatives, friends, and colleagues. Given the profound impact Hadamard has had on mathematics and his various additional interests outside of mathematics, Maz'ya and Shaposhnikova face a daunting objective in writing this book, which they meet quite well through a thorough consideration of his biography and his mathematics. This book consists of two major components, one focusing on Hadamard's life and the other describing his various mathematical achievements. Throughout the book, the authors include many relevant photographs, illustrations, letters, and other archival materials, all of which enhance their portrait of Hadamard. In addition, the authors provide many useful sources in their bibliographies, including over 400 references to Hadamard's original works, over 60 references about Hadamard and his legacy, and over 400 other general references. All of these supporting materials add to the comprehensive nature of this text.
