OverviewAI-generated
Jacques Hadamard (1865–1963) was a French mathematician, professor, and researcher. Born in Versailles, he was educated at Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Lycée Charlemagne, and the École Normale Supérieure. His doctoral advisor was Charles Émile Picard. Hadamard worked in the fields of partial differential equations, number theory, mathematics, and mechanics. He served as a university teacher and held positions at the Collège de France, Columbia University, École polytechnique, and the University of Paris.
Hadamard was a member of the Royal Society, the French Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He received the CNRS Gold medal, the Feltrinelli Prize, the Poncelet Prize, and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Among his doctoral students were André Weil, Maurice René Fréchet, Paul Pierre Lévy, and Szolem Mandelbrojt. He died in Paris and was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Quotes
- “... In the case of ordinary differential equations, the arbitrary elements being numerical parameters, we have to determine them by an equal number of numerical equations, so that, at least theoretically, the question may be considered as solved, being reduced to ordinary algebra; but for partial differential equations, the arbitrary elements consist of functions, and the problem of their determination may be the chief difficulty in the question. ...”
- “In the case of partial differential equations employed in connection with physical problems, their use must be given up in most circumstances, for two reasons: first, it is in general impossible to get the general solution or general integral, and second, it is in general of no use even when it is obtained.”
- “Just after the discovery of infinitesmal calculus, physicists began by needing only very simple methods of integration, the problems in general reducing to elementary differential equations. But when higher partial differential equations were introduced, the corresponding problems almost immediatelly proved to be far above the level of those which contemporary mathematics could treat.”
