Paul Couderc (15 July 1899 – 5 February 1981) was a French academic who held mathematics professorships at lycées in Chartres (1926–1929) and Paris (1930–1944).[1][2]
Biography
Couderc completed his education at lycées in Nevers and Dijon, followed by a doctorate in mathematical sciences from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.[3] In 1926, he married Blanch Jurus.[4]
Throughout his career, Couderc authored approximately fifteen works in the field of astronomy.[5] He provided an interpretation for the phenomena of light echoes around Nova Persei (1901), specifically their perceived superluminal expansion.[6] This geometrical explanation later found application in the study of supernovae, quasars, and γ-ray bursts.[7]
