Tadao Oda
Tadao Oda ( Japanese 小田 忠雄 , Oda Tadao ; * 1940 in Kyoto ) is a Japanese mathematician who studies algebraic geometry .
Oda studied at the University of Kyoto with a bachelor's degree in 1962 and a master's degree in 1964. He received his doctorate in 1967 with David Mumford at Harvard University ( Abelian varieties over a perfect field and Dieudonné Modules ). From 1964 to 1968 he was an assistant at Nagoya University and an instructor at Harvard from 1967/68. In 1968 he became an assistant professor at Nagoya University and in 1975 professor at Tōhoku University . In 2003 he retired.
He was one of the founders of the theory of toric varieties in algebraic geometry in the 1970s and wrote a textbook about it.
