Camille Jordan Institute - ICJ
Research topics
The ICJ is one the two mathematics laboratories of the University of Lyon. It is home to mathematics and applied mathematics researchers from the supervisory establishments. At UCBL, there are 124 permanent members mainly based in the department of mathematics, as well as in Polytech Lyon, the Institut de science financière et d’assurances [Institute of science, finance and insurance] and in the IUT.The research carried out at the Institut Camille Jordan covers practically the entire range of mathematics. The Institut Camille Jordan is a laboratory recognised for both its academic successes, which have earned it various awards (prizes, nominations) providing a source of considerable national and international funding, and for its cutting-edge position in applied research, in particular via its members from engineering schools and via the common team-project with INRIA (DRACULA), working on several applied directions related to hemato

Biography:Camille Jordan
Short description: French mathematician (1838–1922)
Marie Ennemond Camille Jordan (French: [ʒɔʁdɑ̃]; 5 January 1838 – 22 January 1922) was a French mathematician, known both for his foundational work in group theory and for his influential Cours d'analyse.
Biography
Jordan was born in Lyon and educated at the École polytechnique. He was an engineer by profession; later in life he taught at the École polytechnique and the Collège de France, where he had a reputation for eccentric choices of notation.
He is remembered now by name in a number of results:
Jordan's work did much to bring Galois theory into the mainstream. He also investigated the Mathieu groups, the first examples of sporadic groups. His Traité des substitutions, on permutation groups, was published in 1870; this treatise won for Jordan the 1870 prix Poncelet.[1] He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1920 in Strasbourg.[2]

The Institut Camille Jordan (ICJ - UMR 5208) was created in January 2005 following the merger of 4 mathematics laboratories in Lyon. In January 2011, it merged with the Laboratoire de Mathématiques Unifiées de Saint-Etienne (LaMUSE). ICJ's research covers the full range of mathematical fields, in conjunction with other disciplines (biology, physics, computer science and the socio-economic world).
