Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer (27 February 1881 – 2 December 1966), was an
influential Dutch mathematician and philosopher, who worked in topology, set theory,
measure theory and complex analysis. At the end of this year it will be fifty years ago
that L.E.J. (Bertus) Brouwer died as a consequence of a traffic accident. Brouwer had
by then put his ever-lasting mark on mathematics, logic and philosophy. In mathematics
he revolutionized topology with his dimension theory, fixed point theorems and homotopy
theory. In logic he became the founding father of intuitionism, with its constructive approach
to mathematics and logic that is also relevant in theoretical computer science. In philosophy
he questioned our very perception of mathematical reality. For all Brouwer-related activities
organized by the KWG in this year see wiskgenoot.nl/brouwer50/brouwer-year-2016<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiskgenoot.nl%2Fbrouwer50%2Fbrouwer-year-2016&data=02%7C01%7Cdimitris%40microsoft.com%7C61f511c077554b8f25ef08d3fb4c57de%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636128277712793141&sdata=t%2FNukLn%2FWT2qJjHLgS3b4pjFHaEFATegoQYZkfkWpQs%3D&reserved=0>.
