Marcel Berger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcel Berger (born 1927) is a French mathematician, doyen of French differential geometry, and a former director of the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES), France. Currently residing in Le Castera in Lasseube, France, Berger was instrumental in Mikhail Gromov's accepting positions both at the University of Paris and at the IHES.^{[citation needed]}
