Raoul Bott was a Hungarian-American mathematician known for numerous foundational contributions to geometry in its broad sense, best known for the Bott periodicity theorem and the Morse-Bott functions that generalise Morse theory. He earned his PhD in mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 1949 and continued his study at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He was a professor at Harvard University from 1959 to 1999.
