From: Olivier Gerard <olivier.gerard@gmail.com> Subject: [math-fun] About Grothendieck and Bourbaki ... Simon is right that A. Grothendieck mathematical writings was very much influenced by the Bourbaki style. He was in early direct contact with several important members such as Henri Cartan, Jean Dieudonn?, Laurent Schwartz and joined the group later for a few years.
Another related point is that Jean Dieudonn?, who had a strong role in the final editorial stages of many Bourbaki volumes decided to become a kind of assistant and co-author of the younger Grothendieck for the hundreds of pages of the E.G.A. volumes (= Elements of Algebraic Geometry).
But both Grothendieck and Dieudonn? had their own special voices, interest and projects and diverged on many points. Other important members of the Bourbaki group such as Andr? Weil, Ehresmann, ... did not write their own books in the manner of the Bourbaki volumes. It would not have made sense anyway. But they used many of its conventions and notations. ...
Especially EGA is not Bourbaki style at all, for my taste.
