Charles Hermite was a distinguished French mathematician recognized for his significant contributions to number theory, quadratic forms, and elliptic functions. He made notable advancements in invariant theory, orthogonal polynomials, and algebra, with several mathematical concepts and structures named after him, such as Hermite polynomials, interpolation, and Hermitian operators. Hermite’s work also established the groundwork for future discoveries in transcendental numbers, as he was the first to prove the transcendence of e, a milestone later extended to π by Ferdinand von Lindemann.
