Jacques Herbrand was a French mathematician who died young but made contributions to mathematical logic. He was born in Paris on 12 February 1908 and died in a mountaineering accident at La Bérarde in the Isère on 27 July 1931, aged twenty-three. His theorem on the relation between quantified statements and propositional ones, and his notion of recursive functions, became lasting tools of later logic, and Herbrand's theorem and Herbrand universes are linked to him.
