so in the past some people here on sci.math claimed the great mathematicians are either asian , american , french or german.

and in general belittled me and my country.

revenge !! :)

so , ill post some example of a few dutch mathematicians :

( and not knowing them is your loss and ignorance !! )

Pierre Deligne

Jean Bourgain

Ingrid Daubechies

A quick survey on the Internet reveals that they are from Belgium, not
from the Netherlands (: not Dutch). Without doubt, the most well known
mathematician from the Netherlands (i.e. Dutch) is L.E.J. Brouwer:

sure you might find them at princeton.

but there not from the US or the UK !!!

and also note that none of these had the idea

" abolish fractions " like that cranky DeTurk or whatever his name is.

and as galatheae probably knows , yes Ingrid Daubechies is a female mathematician.

and yes she did a lot of work on wavelets and jpeg2000.

sure Riemann was german.

and i love Riemann.

but im talking about modern times.

and a very very small country !!
