Mathematica(@mathemetica):The man who literally rebuilt modern mathematics from the ground up: Alexander Grothendieck (1928–2014). He invented schemes, toposes, and étale cohomology, turning algebraic geometry into the most powerful language in all of math. What Hilbert started, Grothendieck finished. The most influential mathematician of the 20th century.
