René-Louis Baire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

René-Louis Baire (born January 21, 1874, died July 5, 1932) was a French mathematician. He was born in Paris, France and died in Chambéry, France.

Dogged by ill health, and spending time alternating between low level teaching in lycées and work in universities, he was only able to make contributions to mathematics in limited spells. He had research interests in continuity and irrational numbers.
