Christiane Rousseau (mathematician)
Christiane Rousseau (born March 30, 1954 in Versailles ) is a Canadian mathematician and professor at the University of Montreal .
Christiane Rousseau received her PhD in 1977 from the University of Montreal with Dana Schlomiuk (Topos theory and complex analysis). She was a post-doctoral student at McGill University . She has been teaching at the University of Montreal since 1979, with a full professorship since 1991.
Rousseau mainly deals with differential equations and dynamic systems , but also, for example, with Lie algebras , with applications in GUTs . Among other things, she dealt with singularities of differential equations (especially geometric obstructions in the transformation to normal form in singularities), bifurcations (behavior near singularities in the parameter space), Hilbert's 16th problem (in its part on differential equations ) and analysis of more important in mathematical biology Differential equations, such as the Lotka-Volterra equation . She works actively in popularizing mathematics with the involvement of schools, for example.
From 2002 to 2004, Rousseau was President of the Canadian Mathematical Society . From 2011 to 2014 she was Vice President of the International Mathematical Union . In 2008/2009 she was director of the Center de Recherches Mathématiques . She initiated the Mathematics on Planet Earth 2013 (MPE 2013) initiative , which was supported by UNESCO .
In 2014 she received the George Pólya Award . She is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
Rousseau is married and has one child.
