Congratulations, John!

29 November 2024

My last PhD student at the University of Melbourne has completed his project, and is now Dr John Cleary. Congratulations, John!

It was so much fun to help supervise your project. I’ve learned a lot about Albert Lautman, and his account of the development of mathematics and the dialectic of ideas, problems and mathematical progress.

To follow up on this work, you can download John’s thesis. For a brief introduction to Lautman’s ideas, this little article by Brendan Lavor is a good place to start.
