High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Mauricio Matos Peixoto, born in April 15 of 1921, in Fortaleza, Ceara, is a Brazilian engineer who pursued a bright career as a mathematician. He pioneered the studies on structural stability. Once, while talking with his mentor, the Russian Solomon Lefschetz, Mauricio Peixoto commented that no one cared about structural stability of dynamic systems and that was the main problem in working with it. But to Peixoto's surprise Lefschetz's answer was no less than "No Mauricio, this is no trouble, this is your luck. Try to work as hard and as fast as you can on this subject because the day will come when you will not understand a single word of what they will be saying about structural stability; this happened to me in topology." Lefschetz's support was very important to Peixoto at the time. In 1957, Peixoto went to research the subject with Lefschetz at the Princeton University, where he spent uncountable hours talking to the Russian professor about Mathematics and other subjects. Despite of the great age difference (Peixoto was 36 years old and Lefschetz 73), they became good friends.
