John Griggs Thompson is a mathematician who won the Fields Medal in 1970 for his work on the resolution of singularities of algebraic varieties. He was one of the first to use the Gelfond-Schneider theorem and the resolution of singularities to prove that all non-cyclic finite simple groups have even order.
