'Beginning in the 1940s, Weil started the rapid advance of algebraic geometry and number theory by laying the foundations for abstract algebr…aic geometry and the modern theory of abelian varieties. His work on algebraic curves has influenced a wide variety of areas, including some outside mathematics, such as elementary particle physics and string theory. In fact Weil's work in this area was basic to work by mathematicians such as [Shing-Tung] Yau who was awarded a Fields Medal in 1982 for work in three dimensional algebraic geometry which has major applications to quantum field theory. Yau is not the only mathematician who received a Fields Medal for work which continued that begun by Weil. In 1978 Deligne was awarded a Fields Medal for solving the Weil Conjectures. Again we quote [4] for a description of Weil's fundamental contribution: 'One of Weil's major achievements was his proof of the Riemann hypothesis for the congruence zeta functions of algebraic function fields. In 1949 he raised certain conjectures about the congruence zeta function of algebraic varieties over finite fields. These Weil conjectures, as they came to be called, grew out of his deep insight into the topology of algebraic varieties and provided guiding principles for subsequent developments in the field' ' (MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site, citing 'Weil receives Kyoto prize', Notices Amer. Math. Soc 41 (7) (1994), 793-794).

3 volumes. Second printing, corrected. 8vo. XX, 578; XII, 561; XII, 465 pp. Original blue gilt-stamped cloth. Rubber-stamp of Jurgen Ritter. Fine. Andre Weil was a French mathematician, known for his foundational work in number theory and algebraic geometry. He was a founding member and the de facto early leader of the mathemati…cal Bourbaki group. Among his numerous accomplishments, and leading an extraordinary life, Weil made substantial contributions in a number of areas, the most important being his discovery of profound connections between algebraic geometry and number theory. Indian (Hindu) thought had great influence on Weil, having lived and studied there for couple of years. He shared the second Wolf [Foundation] Prize in Mathematics with Jean Leray in 1979.
