Luis Ángel Caffarelli (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlwis anˈxel kaffaˈɾeʎi]; born December 8, 1948) is an Argentine-American mathematician. He studies partial differential equations and their applications.

2. Alberto Calderón (1920 - 1998)

With an HPI of 40.60, Alberto Calderón is the 2nd most famous Argentinean Mathematician.  His biography has been translated into 18 different languages.

Alberto Pedro Calderón (September 14, 1920 – April 16, 1998) was an Argentinian mathematician. His name is associated with the University of Buenos Aires, but first and foremost with the University of Chicago, where Calderón and his mentor, the analyst Antoni Zygmund, developed the theory of singular integral operators. This created the "Chicago School of (hard) Analysis" (sometimes simply known as the "Calderón-Zygmund School"). Calderón's work ranged over a wide variety of topics: from singular integral operators to partial differential equations, from interpolation theory to Cauchy integrals on Lipschitz curves, from ergodic theory to inverse problems in electrical prospection. Calderón's work has also had a powerful impact on practical applications including signal processing, geophysics, and tomography.
