Paul Dedecker

Paul Dedecker (Brussels, 1921 – Caracas, 2007) was a Belgian mathematician who worked primarily in topology on the subjects of nonabelian cohomology, general category theory, variational calculus and its relations to homological algebra, exterior calculus on manifolds and mathematical physics.

He graduated in mathematics in 1948 at the Free University of Brussels, where he was a student of van den Dungen.
