Victor Alexandre Puiseux (French: [p?izø]; 16 April 1820 – 9 September 1883) was a French mathematician and astronomer.Puiseux series are named after him, as is in part the Bertrand–Diquet–Puiseux theorem.
His work on algebraic functions and uniformization makes him a direct precursor of Bernhard Riemann, for what concerns the latter's work on this subject and his introduction of Riemann surfaces.
He was also an accomplished amateur mountaineer.A peak in the French alps, which he climbed in 1848, is named after him.
A species of Israeli gecko, Ptyodactylus puiseuxi, is named in his honor.
