Raoul Bott was born in Budapest in 1923. His lineage fully reflects the geopolitical complexity of the region at the time. His mother’s family was Hungarian and Jewish, while his father’s side was Austrian and Catholic. His parents divorced soon after his birth, so he grew up with his mother and stepfather. Raised as a Catholic, Raoul spent his childhood and adolescence in Slovakia, which ...
Raoul Bott, a mathematician who made innovative contributions to differential geometry and topology, a field that examines the properties of spaces, died on Dec. 20 in Carlsbad, Calif. He was 82. The cause was lung cancer, his family said. Although he began his career studying engineering, Dr. Bott, who was born in Hungary, turned to ...
Raoul Bott, FRS (September 24, 1923 – December 20, 2005) was a Hungarian mathematician known for numerous basic contributions to geometry in its broad sense. He is best known for his Bott periodicity theorem, the Morse–Bott functions which he used in this context, and the Borel–Bott–Weil theorem. Career. Bott was born in Budapest ...
