Laurent Schwartz
The theory of distributions, which made physicists' delta function legal.
Laurent-Moïse Schwartz was a French mathematician who received the Fields Medal in 1950 for pioneering the theory of distributions or generalized functions, giving a well-defined meaning to objects such as the Dirac delta function. For several years he taught at the École polytechnique.
