Title:
Charles Hermite, French Mathematician
Caption:
Charles Hermite (1822-1901) was a French mathematician who did research on number theory, quadratic forms, invariant theory, orthogonal polynomials, elliptic functions, and algebra. Hermite polynomials, Hermite interpolation, Hermite normal form, Hermitian operators, and cubic Hermite splines are named in his honor. He was the first to prove that e, the base of natural logarithms, is a transcendental number.
