André Bloch (20 November 1893 – 11 October 1948) was a French mathematician who is best remembered for his fundamental contribution to Complex analysis. Bloch was institutionalized in a mental asylum for thirty-one years of his life, during which all of his mathematical output was produced. == Early life == Bloch was born in 1893 in Besançon, France. According to one of his teachers, Georges Valiron, both André Bloch and his younger brother Georges were the same class in October 1910. Valiron believed Georges to have the better talent, and due to lack of preparation, André finished last in the class. André was spared from failing the class by convincing Ernest Vessiot to give him an oral exam. The exam convinced Vessiot of Andre's talent and both André and Georges entered the École Polytechnique.〔G. Valiron, Des Théorèmes de Bloch aux Théories d'Ahlfors, Bulletin des Sciences Mathematiques 73 (1949) 152–162.〕〔D. Campbell, Beauty and the beast: The strange case of André Bloch, The Mathematical Intelligencer 7 (1985) 36–38.〕 Both brothers served for a year in the military prior to World War I.〔H. Cartan and J. Ferrand, "The Case of André Bloch", The Mathematical Intelligencer 10 (1988) 23–26.〕 Both André and Georges studied for only one year at the École Polytechnique before the outbreak of the war.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「André Bloch (mathematician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
