John Milnor is a prominent American mathematician known for his work in differential topology, differential geometry, and algebraic topology. Born on February 20, 1931, he has made significant contributions to various areas of mathematics, including the study of manifolds, Morse theory, and the topology of high-dimensional spaces. Milnor is particularly famous for his discovery of exotic spheres—manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to the standard sphere.
