Biography

French mathematician, among the greatest pioneers of differential algebra and symbolic computation for systems of partial differential equations, along with Maurice Janet, Joseph Miller Thomas, Joseph Fels Ritt, and Ellis Kolchin.

Riquier matriculated in 1873 at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) where he received his agrégé in mathematics in 1876. He taught from 1876 to 1878 at the Lycée de Brest and then from 1878 to 1886 at the Lycée de Caen and from 1886 to 1924 at the Université de Caen, where he retired as a professor emeritus.

After a brief leave of absence from the Lycée de Caen, Riquier received his doctorate in mathematics in 1886 from ENS at Paris.

In 1910 he was awarded the Poncelet Prize. In 1920 he was elected to the French Academy of Sciences as the successor to Hieronymus Zeuthen. (Eugène Fabry was elected Riquier's successor in 1931.)

He died on 17 January 1929 in Caen, aged 75.
