Biography
Armand Lévy (14 November 1795 – 29 July 1841) was a French mathematician and mineralogist.
Life
Armand Lévy studied mathematics, passing his agrégation in 1816. He settled in London where in 1820 he met a mineral dealer, Henry Heuland, who asked him to categorise his collection. In 1827, Lévy went to Belgium to supervise the printing of the resulting book. He then became a professor at the University of Liège. He later returned to France and taught mathematics at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.
He died of a ruptured aneurysm at the age of 45.
