**Biography:**
Serre Jean-Pierre, born September 15, 1926 in Bages, France, is a French mathematician who has made significant contributions to number theory, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. He is a member of the Académie des Sciences and a foreign member of the Royal Society.
Serre received his doctorate from the École Normale Supérieure in 1954 under the supervision of Henri Cartan. He then held positions at the University of Nancy, the Collège de France, and the University of Paris-Sud. He is currently a professor emeritus at the Collège de France.
Serre's work has had a profound influence on number theory, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. He is best known for his proof of the finiteness of the number of rational points on an algebraic curve, which is known as Serre's finiteness theorem. He has also made important contributions to the theory of modular forms, the theory of representations of algebraic groups, and the theory of algebraic cycles.
Serre has received numerous awards for his work, including the Fields Medal in 1954, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics in 2000, and the Kyoto Prize in Mathematics in 2003. He is a member of the Académie des Sciences, the Royal Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
