Daniel Quillen was an American mathematician known for his significant contributions to algebraic K-theory, homotopy theory, and the study of higher categories. He was born on January 27, 1933, and passed away on April 30, 2011. Quillen's work in K-theory, which concerns the study of vector bundles and their relationships to algebraic topology, has had a profound impact on both pure mathematics and theoretical physics.
