Jules Richard

Jules Antoine Richard (1862-1956) was a French mathematician.

He authored Sur la nature des axiomes de la géométrie, an investigation of the nature of axioms in geometry: are they necessarily true, are they arbitrary assumptions, are they definitions?

He is best remembered for creation of the Richard Paradox, a variant of Cantor's diagonal argument.
