          Basic information about me

          In October 2020 I became a professor at the Collège de France.

          Timothy Gowers' "Mathematics: A Very Short " isn't just another textbook; it's a gateway to understanding the beauty and breadth of mathematics.

        2. Mathematics, Really?

        4. The vision comes first, it develops into an idea that gets tentatively sketched out, and finally comes the long technical process of erecting the work of art.
        5. Gowers reflects here on his vision for the future of editor-owned journals.

          6. My official title is Professeur titulaire de la chaire Combinatoire, which translates as the holder of the combinatorics chair. Chairs are not fixed for all time, and this is the first time that there has been one in combinatorics.

          Before that I was Rouse Ball Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Now, I still live in Cambridge and hold a part-time position in the department, which means that I continue to lecture here (typically one Part III course per year) and to supervise research students.

          I am a combinatorialist in a fairly broad sense: first and foremost I am drawn to problems with statements that I can understand without having to do too much work.

          And within that category I tend to prefer problems that promise to involve other areas of mathematics, especially analysis, either by using tools from those areas or by providing tools to those areas.
