One of the few Brazilian mathematicians of international recognition:

hooray!

finally found an iberian mathematician!

trying in vain...

some of us are trying to think of some famous "latin(o)" mathematicians.






sorry, he was actually italian.

for amusement, try searching for 'famous [country of origin] mathematician'. compare results for japanese, french, german, indian, norwegian, british, [country in europe other than spain/portugal], mexican, etc. laugh really hard. bonus points if the famous latin mathematician actually came from a non-latin country.

also: the math history site has a page which lists the number of (quasi-famous) mathematicians from a given country.
