Bourbaki is a pseudonymous group of primarily French mathematicians founded in the 1930s. They aimed to reformulate mathematics on a solid and rigorous foundation, emphasizing abstraction and generality. The group is known for its influential series of books, titled "Éléments de mathématique," which covers various mathematical topics in a systematic way. The name Bourbaki is derived from a fictional general, Nicolas Bourbaki, created by the group members. This collective includes notable mathematicians such as Henri Cartan, Jean Dieudonné, and André Weil. Their work has significantly impacted modern mathematics, particularly in areas like algebra, topology, and analysis.
