Derzeit ist er einer der Direktoren des Max-Planck-Instituts für Mathematik in Bonn und Professor am französischen Collège de France in Paris. Seine Hauptarbeitsgebiete sind Zahlentheorie, Theorie der Modulformen und Verbindungen zur Topologie. Zagier ist 1951 in Heidelberg als Sohn amerikanischer Eltern geboren und in den USA aufgewachsen. Er bestand im Alter von 13 Jahren sein Abitur. Er studierte am MIT Mathematik und Physik und wurde 1967 - im Alter von 16 Jahren - Putnam Fellow (im Jahr zuvor gewann er den ersten Preis in der Mathematik-Olympiade). 1968 erhielt er den B.A., ging dann an die Oxford University und an die Universität Bonn, wo er bei Friedrich Hirzebruch mit 19 promovierte (offiziell in Oxford).

Extrait : Shen Kuo (chinois : , pinyin : ), Shen K'uo, Shen Kua ou encore Shen Gua (Hangzhou, 1031 - Zhenjiang, 1095) est un scientifique polymathe chinois et un fonctionnaire gouvernemental sous la dynastie Song (960-1279). Homme d'esprit universel, il fut notamment géologue, astronome, mathématicien, cartographe, inventeur, météorologue, agronome, ethnographe, zoologiste, botaniste, ingénieur en hydraulique, pharmacologue, auteur encyclopédiste, poète, musicien, diplomate, général, chancelier académique, ministre des finances et inspecteur des services de l'État. Il fut également responsable du Bureau de l'Astronomie à la cour des Song, ainsi qu'adjoint du ministre de l'Hospitalité impériale. À la cour, son allégeance politique allait à la faction réformiste du « Groupe de nouvelles politiques », dirigée par le chancelier Wang Anshi ( ; 1021-1086). Dans son livre Mengxi Bitan () de 1088, Shen est le premier à décrire le compas à aiguille magnétique qui sera utilisé pour la navigation alors qu'en Europe, cette découverte ne sera décrite pour la première fois qu'en 1187 par Alexandre Neckam. Shen a aussi découvert le concept du « vrai Nord » en termes de déclinaison magnétique vers le pôle Nord, c'est-à-dire en découvrant qu'il existe une différence entre le pôle Nord géographique et le pôle Nord magnétique. Ce fut un pas décisif dans l'Histoire pour faire du compas un outil de navigation encore plus utile, alors que cette notion resta encore inconnue en Europe les quatre siècles suivants (Christophe Colomb).
