In this episode, we cover the history of 20th century mathematician Alexander Grothendieck, most notable for being the father of modern algebraic geometry. He is considered by many to be the greatest mathematician of the 20th century. • As per usual, I don't go too deeply into the mathematics, largely just covering his history. Hope you enjoy! • NOTE (2022-06-08): The photo I claim to be Léon Motchane is actually Robert Oppenheimer.
