Jean Dieudonné, 1906-1992, was a French mathematician.
Basic mathematicians know probably him as the author of Foundations of Modern Analysis, a book he wrote first in english then published in French. This book was a "must" during the sixties for any person interested in mathematical analysis. Initially, the author certainly did not view the book as the first of a series but he wrote high level continuations which constituted finally a 9 volumes treatise.
For high level mathematicians, Jean Dieudonné appears rather mainly as a researcher, co-founder and, during all his life, active member of the Bourbaki group.
