L.A. Medeiros was born in Fortaleza, author of the  Medeiros's theorem, and contributing to the formation of well-qualified human resources in Mathematics, working in several Brazilian and international universities. This resulted, under his supervision, in several Master's dissertations and several Doctoral theses.

He was a Ph.D. student of Leopoldo Nachbin and Felix Browder, and related to Professor Jacques-Louis Lions, from the University of Paris, where he did his Post Doctorate.

Early life and education
L.A. Medeiros was sent by his family to Rio to study Medicine, however, he decided to ​​change to Mathematics.

His parents, upon learning that he would not be a Doctor, withdrew his financial support, which made him start working to graduate from the University of Brazil, currently UFRJ.

He showed his passion for research by publishing his first article during graduation (1950) and never stopped, and at the age of 90 (2016) co-authored with Manuel Milla Miranda, he wrote a paper highlighted as Editor's Choice, nominated by the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications as one of the top 5 publications of the year.

In 1952 he completed a Degree in Mathematics and in 1956 a Bachelor's Degree. In 1952, he was invited to be an assistant professor of Mathematical and Higher Analysis, directed by Professor José Abdelhay.

He began his Doctorate with Professor Leopoldo Nachbin, and continuing his studies as American mathematician Felix E. Browder, spending 3 years at Yale University and at the University of Chicago obtaining the title of Doctor of Science at Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada in 1965.

Hired in 1952 as Assistant Professor, he followed his career up to the highest degree of Full Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, retiring from compulsory education in 1996. The following year he received the honorable title of "Emeritus Professor".

In 1999, L. A. Medeiros was awarded The Prize of the Tenth International Colloquium on Differential Equations, held in Plovdive, Bulgaria

He married Lourdes Maria Palma Medeiros, a Physics teacher, his student. 4 children were born, Luiz Henrique (Architect), Sergio (Electronic Engineer), Maria Laura (Biologist) and Kathia (Teacher), 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson.

In 2003, received the Diploma of Honorary Professor at the National University of Callao, Callao, Peru.
