Fokko du Cloux (December 20, 1954 - November 10, 2006) was a mathematician and computer scientist who worked on the Atlas of Lie groups and representations until his death on November 10, 2006. Events 69 - Vespasian, formerly a general under Nero, enters Rome to claim the title of Emperor. Year 1954 ( MCMLIV) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1954 Gregorian calendar) Events 1444 - Battle of Varna: The crusading forces of King Vladislaus III of Varna (aka Ulaszlo I of Hungary and Wladyslaw Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and research is the field of Mathematics. A computer scientist is a person that has acquired knowledge of Computer science, the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and their application The Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations is a mathematical project to solve the problem of the unitary dual for real reductive Lie groups One of the founding members of the project, he was responsible for building the Atlas software which was instrumental in the mapping of the E8 Lie Group. The Project successfully managed to map the structure of the E8 group in 2007.
Fokko du Cloux was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2005, but he continued to actively participate in the project until his death. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( ALS, sometimes called Maladie de Charcot, or in the United States Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a progressive
