Paul Zimmermann (born 13 November 1964) is a

INRIA
.

Zimmermann co-authored the book Computational Mathematics with SageMath[1] used by Mathematical students worldwide.

His interests include asymptotically fast arithmetic—he wrote a book

integer factorisation[5] and discrete logarithm.[6]

He has been an active developer of the

MPFR, an arbitrary precision floating point library with correct rounding. He is also a coauthor of the CADO-NFS software tool, which was used to factor RSA-240 in record time.[7]

In a 2014 blog post,

hybrid open access journals
, because he disagrees with the publication mechanism.
