Paul Antoine Aristide Montel(29 April 1876 – 22 January 1975) was a Frenchmathematician.He was born inNice,France and died inParis,France. He researched mostly onholomorphic functionsincomplex analysis.
Montel was a student ofÉmile Borelat theSorbonne.Henri Cartan,Jean DieudonnéandMiron Nicolescuwere among his students.
Montel's most important contribution to mathematics was the introduction and systematic development of the notion ofnormal family.[1] This very influential book also contains the first exposition in the book form of the results ofPierre FatouandGaston Juliaon holomorphic dynamics.The notion of normal family was a predecessor of the notion ofcompact spaceintroduced byPavel AlexandrovandPavel Urysohnin 1929.[2]
