ren de possel

Lucien Alexandre Charles Ren Possel (1905 - 1974) was a French mathematician, one of the founders of the Bourbaki group, and later a pioneer computer scientist, working in particular on optical character recognition. He had the conventional background for a member of Bourbaki: the Ecole Normale Superieure, agregation, and then study in Germany. He left Bourbaki at an early stage: there was an obvious personal matter intruding between him and Andr Weil. He published an early book on game theory in 1936 (Sur la thorie mathmatique des jeux de hasard et de rflexion). His later research work in computer science at the Institut Blaise Pascal was in a position of relative isolation, as the subject strove for independence and to move away from the imposed role of service provider in the field of numerical analysis. He became director there in 1960, in succession to Louis Pierre Couffignal (1902 - 1966), until an administrative reorganisation under the C. N. R. S. in 1969. He was a leading figure in pushing for the later Institut de Programmation. Possel Possel Possel
