在你心中谁是最伟大的法国人？ 第1页

格罗滕迪克

学术上的成就姑且不提，单看生活态度，格老这一辈子就足够让人咂舌了。

Actively engaged against the US War in Vietnam, Professor A. Grothendieck decided to go to North Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War in order to help teaching mathematics to young Vietnamese scientists. He went by himself to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam's embassy in Paris to ask for his visa and arrived in Hanoi in November 1967. There he taught all day long mathematics to staff members of the Department of Mathematics of the Hanoi's University for one month. Because of the US bombings, university and research centers had to be dispersed away to the neighboring countryside, far from the city's center.
