Military service

Julia was born in the Algerian town of Sidi Bel Abbes, at the time under French rule. Algeria ( ar [[Arabic]] الجزائر, Al Jaza'ir ælʤæˈzæːʔir Amazigh: ⴷⵥⴰⵢⴻⵔ Dzayer) officially the People's Sidi Bel Abbès ( Arabic: سيدي بلعباس) is a capital (2005 pop In his youth, he had an interest in mathematics and music. His studies were interrupted at the age of 20, when France became involved in World War I and he was called to serve in the army. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All In one attack on a cold, stormy night he suffered a severe injury, losing his nose. After many unsuccessful operations to remedy the situation, he resigned himself to wearing a leather strap around the area where his nose was for the rest of his life.

Career in mathematics

Julia gained attention for his mathematical work after the war when a 199-page article he wrote was featured in the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, a French mathematics journal. This article is about the country For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic France topics. The article, which he published in 1918 at the age of 25, titled "Mémoire sur l'itération des fonctions rationnelles" described the iteration of a rational function. In Mathematics, a rational function is any function which can be written as the Ratio of two Polynomial functions Definitions In The article gained immense popularity among mathematicians and the general population as a whole, and so led to Julia's later receiving of the Grand Prix de l'Académie des Sciences. The French Academy of Sciences ( French: Académie des sciences) is a Learned society, founded in 1666 by Louis XIV at the Despite his fame, his works were all forgotten until the day Benoît Mandelbrot mentioned them in his works, after which he received some national attention. Benoît B Mandelbrot (born 20 November 1924 is a French mathematician, best known as the father of fractal geometry.

Julia died in Paris at the age of 85. Paris (ˈpærɨs in English; in French) is the Capital of France and the country's largest city
