Ricardo Mañé Ramirez (Montevideo, 14 January 1948 – Montevideo, 9 March 1995) was a Uruguayan mathematician, known for his contributions to dynamical systems and ergodic theory. He was a doctoral student of Jacob Palis at IMPA.Homenagem a Ricardo Mañé, Revista Matemática Universitária, nº 18, 1995, pp. 1–18. (in Portuguese)
He was an invited speaker at the International Congresses of Mathematicians of 1983 and 1994http://www2.profmat-sbm.org.br/sitesbm/socios_honorarios.asp and is a recipient of the 1994 TWAS Prize.
