I think Serre is the most influential mathematician today.

I've never heard of him, though my background is mostly physics. .....

Well, I've heard of him, but I can't say that I recall who he is, what he does, or where he does it. Those Bourbaki's had some notoriety a while ago, but recently I have been wondering what mathematicians have been doing nowadays and I guess it would be interesting to ask if anyone else knows? - hvm ------------------------------------------------- www.correo.unam.mx UNAMonos Comunicándonos
