Samuel Lattès
Samuel Lattès (born February 21, 1873 in Nice , † July 5, 1918 ) was a French mathematician . Lattès studied from 1892 to 1895 at the École Normale Superieure . Then he was a teacher in Algiers , Dijon and Nice. After receiving his doctorate in Paris in 1906, he was first in Montpellier from 1908 , then in Besançon , before finally becoming a professor at the University of Toulouse in 1911 . He died of typhus in 1918 .
Today Lattès is best known for his work on complex dynamics , especially for examples of rational functions, the Juliet set of which is the entire Riemann number sphere . Today these are also referred to as Lattès illustrations or Lattès examples .
