Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer

Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer (born 1912, Figueres - 27 December 1967, Barcelona) was a Spanish mathematician. He is the namesake of the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize in mathematics. Ferran Sunyer was born with almost complete physical disabilities and never went to school because his doctor advised that Ferran should not be submitted to such stress. Ferran was home schooled by his mother and developed great interest in mathematics.

This article uses Catalan naming customs: the first or paternal family name is Sunyer and the second or maternal family name is Balaguer.
