Persons



Maurice Fréchet, 1878 — 1973, was a French mathematician.

One encounters his name in topology and functional analysis where one uses Fréchet spaces.

F. is the sixth boy of the list that master recited daily to check our presences in my first year at primary school.

This was during school-year 1948-1949. The list always remained in my memory as present as the alphabet. This didn't occur for lists of subsequent classes.

F. had an older brother who was in the same primary school and, during my third and last schoolyear in this school, F.'s brother and me — and likely also F. himself — were in the same classroom; F.'s brother was in the great division.

In general, I knew almost nothing of my schoolmates in primary school. But I knew that F.'s father was an accountant and that his home was a great old one not far from the school.
