Heisuke Hironaka obituary: mathematician who smoothed out geometry’s complexities

Heisuke Hironaka, a brilliant mathematician, passed away at the age of 94, leaving behind a legacy in algebraic geometry. His groundbreaking proof of the resolution of singularities in 1964 transformed our understanding of geometric objects. With a career that spanned continents, he inspired many students and colleagues, earning the prestigious Fields Medal in 1970. Hironaka's work reminds us that the complexities of mathematics can lead to beautiful insights about the world around us.
