Jan 10, 2020 at 17:06 comment added YCor I think the question is written is a far too much opinion-based way (which is even worse if one includes contemporary mathematicians).

Nov 9, 2019 at 17:42 comment added user35360 I'd be more interested in contemporary mathematicians who excel at both. Harder to do it today than before. Terry Tao comes to mind.

Nov 9, 2019 at 17:12 comment added Algernon I am not much fond of distinction between pure and applied mathematics, but I guess Kolmogorov would be another example.
Nov 9, 2019 at 17:08 comment added Fabrice Baudoin Sorry, I did not see. I will go for Henri Poincare then, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Poincaré
Nov 9, 2019 at 17:03 comment added Hollis Williams Thanks, I did mention John von Neumann in my post though, but he is a great example.
