Raphael Salem (November 7, 1898 in Saloniki, Ottoman Empire (now Thessaloniki, Greece) – June 20, 1963 in Paris, France), was a Greek-Sephardic mathematician after whom are named the Salem numbers and whose widow founded the Salem Prize. Raphael Salem was born in Saloniki to Emmanuel and Fortunee Salem. His father was a well known lawyer who dealt with international problems while his mother was Salem. Raphael was brought up in a Jewish family who followed the traditions of their ancestors. At age 15 the family moved to France and Salem attended the Lycee Condorcet for two years. Believing that he would follow in father's footsteps, Salem entered the Law Faculty of the University of Paris. His interests, though, were not in law but rather in mathematics and engineering. Soon there after Salem started taking mathematics courses with Hadamard all the while continuing his studies for law. In 1919 he graduated from Licencie et laureat and received his law degree.
