John Griggs THOMPSON. born October 13, 1932, Kansas, USA. University of Chicago. Proved jointly with W. Feit that all non-cyclic finite simple groups have even order. The extension of this work by Thompson determined the minimal simple finite groups, that is, the simple finite groups whose proper subgroups are solvable.
