Charles Hermite (1822-1901) was a French mathematician who made
significant contributions to pure mathematics, and especially to
number theory and algebra. In 1858 he solved the equation of the
fifth degree by elliptic functions, and in 1873 he proved that e
(the base of natural logarithms) is transcendental. The legacy of
his work can be shown in the large number of mathematical terms
which bear the adjective 'Hermitian'. As a teacher at the Ecole
Polytechnique, the Faculte des Sciences de Paris and the Ecole
Normale Superieure he was influential and inspiring to a new
generation of scientists in many disciplines. The four volumes of
his collected papers were published between 1905 and 1908.
