Paulo Ribenboim (born March 13, 1928) is aBrazilian-Canadianmathematician who specializes innumber theory.

Ribenboim was born into aJewish family inRecife, Brazil. He received his BSc in mathematics from theUniversity of São Paulo in 1948, and won a fellowship to study withJean Dieudonné in France at theUniversity of Nancy in the early 1950s, where he became a close friend ofAlexander Grothendieck.^[1]He has contributed to the theory ofideals and ofvaluations.^[2]

Ribenboim has authored 246 publications including 13 books. He has been atQueen's University inKingston, Ontario, since the 1960s, where he remains a professoremeritus.

Jean Dieudonné was one of his doctoral advisors.Andrew Granville, Jan Minac, Karl Dilcher and Aron Simis have been doctoral students of Ribenboim.^[3]

TheRibenboim Prize of theCanadian Number Theory Association is named in his honor.

In 1951, Ribenboim married Huguette Demangelle, a French Catholic woman who he met in France. The couple have two children and five grandchildren, and have lived in Canada since 1962.^[4]
