Roger Godement, born in 1921, is a french mathematician.
For me, R. Godement is mainly the author of two books of mathematics, a big treatise of algebra for students in first years of university and another one, Topologie algébrique et théorie des faisceaux (algebraic topology and sheaf theory) for graduate students. These two books had an important place in my mathematical life.
R. Godement is also known for his critical opinions about military usage of mathematics.
