Solomon Lefschetz was a Russian born, Jewish mathematician who was the main source of the algebraic aspects of topology . His father Alexander Lefschetz and his mother Vera were both Turkish citizens but since Alexander Lefschetz worked as an importer he was required to travel a great deal. As a consequence the family decided to make a base for themselves in France where their children could be educated. Shortly after Solomon was born his family set up home in Paris. Emile Picard and Paul Appell . However, not being a French citizen he would have found great difficulty obtaining an academic post in France. Fully understanding this, in November 1905 at the age of 21, Lefschetz went to the United States. For a few months he worked at the Baldwin Locomotive works, then from 1907 to 1910 he worked for Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh. He had the misfortune to lose both his hands in a laboratory accident in November 1907 when they were burnt off in a transformer explosion. He also lost his forearms and spent a while in hospital. As one might imagine this accident had a major mental impact on Lefschetz in addition to the physical disability he suffered. The result was a deep depression, but the tragedy eventually pushed him towards mathematics, which was the right subject for him and, of course, it was fortunate for topology that he found his true love of mathematics. After teaching mathematics to apprentices at the Westinghouse Electric Company in 1910, he enrolled as a doctoral student in mathematics at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he was a fellow from 1910 to 1911.

    Solomon Lefschetz
    Solomon Lefschetz (1884-1972) did pioneering work in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and differential equations, and exerted tremendous influence over American mathematics as a professor at Princeton University and the editor of the journal Annals of Mathematics Lefschetz was born in Moscow into a Jewish family. His father had frequent business in Persia, and usually based his family in Paris. At age 21 Lefschetz emigrated to the United States. He worked briefly at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, then for Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburg from 1907 to 1910. His industrial career was cut short by an accident in which he lost both his hands. Lefschetz started over as a mathematician, receiving his doctorate from Clark University in 1911. Lefschetz accepted a position at the University of Nebraska, then moved to the University of Kansas. Despite heavy teaching demands and near-complete isolation from other research mathematicians, he produced research papers of striking originality and importance. (He later wrote that his position "enabled me to develop my ideas in perfect mathematical calm".) In 1924 he went to Princeton as a visiting professor, and his post was made permanent the next year. Lefschetz became Henry Fine research professor in 1932 and retained that post until his retirement from Princeton in 1953. Lefschetz began his research by studying algebraic varieties (sets defined by the vanishing of polynomials). He applied to them the ideas of algebraic topology invented by

    Nació en Moscú y estudió en París y en la Universidad Clark en Worcester, Massachusetts. Lefschetz empezó a trabajar como ingeniero en los Estados Unidos; después de perder las dos manos en un accidente, comenzó a interesarse por las matemáticas. Enseñó (1924-1953) en las universidades de México y Princeton, donde también trabajó como editor de Anales de las matemáticas . Entre sus contribuciones a la topología destacó el estudio de las transformaciones en las que determinados puntos permanecen fijos. Fue premiado por su trabajo con diversas distinciones internacionales.

    The following article about Solomon Lefschetz by Kristina Nilson Allen appeared in Clark News , volume 11, number 1, January 1988, page 9.
    Undaunted Genius
    The launching of Sputnik in 1957 galvanized the United States and brought one of America's greatest mathematicians, Solomon Lefschetz, out of retirement to pick up the gauntlet hurled from outer space. Lefschetz, who had received his doctorate from Clark in 1911, had been studying closely the research of Russian scientists. He was certain that the Soviets' superior knowledge of nonlinear differential equations (which deal with the laws of natural motion) had given them the edge in rocket control systems. Lefschetz convinced the Martin Company, an aircraft manufacturer, to set up a mathematics research center as part of their independent Research Institute for Advanced Study in Baltimore. In a year, Lefschetz was directing the research of 17 scientists focused on nonlinear differential equations. It was the largest group of mathematicians in the Western world to tackle such a project. This project culminated a career which had brought Lefschetz worldwide recognition for outstanding contributions to the fields of algebraic geometry, topology (the geometry of form without size or shape) and nonlinear differential equations. Ironically, Lefschetz turned to mathematics only after an accident curtailed a career in engineering. Born in Moscow in 1884 and raised in Paris, Lefschetz had earned his degree in 1905 in mechanical engineering at the Ecole Centrale. In 1907 he began work as an engineer with Westinghouse Electrical and Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh, but at age 23, Lefschetz lost both hands and forearms in an electrical experiment accident.
