Georges Darmois

Georges Darmois (24 June 1888 – 3 January 1960) was a French mathematician and statistician.

He was admitted to École normale supérieure in 1906 and passed subsequently the agrégation de mathematiques in 1909.

From 1911 to 1914, he was a qualified assistant (agrégé préparateur) at the École normale supérieure, where his scientific activities were directed by Émile Borel who rapidly appreciated his talent.

He defended a thesis on algebraic curves and partial differential equations before the jury consisting of Émile Picard and Édouard Goursat.

[2] His research spanned several fields of pure and applied mathematics, including geometry, general relativity, physics, statistics, time series, and econometrics.
