Born in 1949, in Hasparren in the French side of the Basque country, Jean-Baptiste Hiriart-Urruty studied in Pau and Bordeaux, passed the "agregation de mathematiques" in 1972, and the "doctorat d'Etat" in mathematics in 1977 from the Blaise-Pascal University in Clermont-Ferrand. He has been a professor of Mathematics at the Paul-Sabatier University in Toulouse since 1981.

After being responsible for six years for the program of doctoral studies in applied mathematics, he headed the laboratory of numerical analysis from 1988 to 1993. Hiriart-Urruty's interests in research included variational analysis (convex, nonsmooth, applied), and optimization. He also takes an active interest in issues of mathematics education. Besides the two-volume research monograph written with Claude Lemarechal (1993), he is also the author of a popular-level booklet on optimization (1996), and has published two books of exercises on linear and bilinear algebra (1988), and on convex analysis and optimization (1998).

His most recent book, Fundamentals of Convex Analysis with Claude Lemarechal (2001, in one volume), is an abbreviation and enhancement of their two-volume monograph.
