[edit] Year of Birth
I tried searching the internet for more information. I found this curriculum vitae, which contains three references to the Gabriel Sudan Centenary celebrated in Bucharest, in 1999. So G.S. was apparently born in 1899.
There appears to be a fair amount of information on the web, but much of it is not in English, and most of the available biographical information appears to be in Romanian. There were also a lot of false positives for "Gabriel Sudan" stemming from a Catholic cardinal named Gabriel Zubeir Wako, who lives in Sudan. DavidCBryant 23:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Good find. When editing this page, I also tried to find out where and when he was born and died, but couldn't find anything definite. This reference from Calude's vita (and, by the way, I quoted in the article the paper by Calude, Marcus, and Tevy, which I think is the first one that gave full credit to Sudan for his discovery, though the initial clue, as they say, came from Grigore Moisil) is the best clue so far to Sudan's birth date, though it could also conceivably have been in 1898 (some conferences occur a bit later than planned, but that's not too likely). At any rate, is this solid enough to mention in the article? I'd say yes.... Turgidson 04:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
