M. S. L. (Stuart) P. de Rijke

M. S. L. (Stuart) P. de Rijke is a mathematician known for his work in orbifold theory and geometric topology. Orbifolds are spaces that generalize shapes like surfaces but can have singular points where they are "folded" or "twisted." De Rijke's research explores how these spaces can be classified, their properties, and how they relate to broader mathematical concepts. His work helps in understanding complex geometric structures, which can have applications in fields like physics, computer science, and the study of three-dimensional spaces.
