Georges Simart

Georges Simart (born June 22, 1846 in Paris  , † December 16, 1921 ibid) was a French mathematician who dealt with function theory .

Simart studied at the École Polytechnique in Paris from 1864 to 1866 and was then in the hydrographic service of the French Navy in Paris, where he became a frigate captain. In 1882 he received his doctorate in mathematics at the Sorbonne with his dissertation Commentaire sur deux mémoires de Riemann relatifs à la théorie générale des fonctions et au principe de Dirichlet on the function theory of Bernhard Riemann . From 1900 to 1906 he was a tutor at the École Polytechnique.

With Émile Picard he published a two-volume monograph on algebraic functions in two variables (curves on algebraic surfaces ). A whole series of new developments in algebraic geometry and function theory go back to these books , especially the beginnings of Hodge's theory . Picard wrote in the foreword of the book that his friend Simart had already supported him in the publication of his Traité d'Analyse .

In 1871 Simart became a knight and in 1893 an officer of the Legion of Honor . He is buried on the Cimetière de Passy .
