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 Ãcole Polytechnique, the Facultà des Sciences de Paris and the Ãcole Normale SupÃrieure 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.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53186742681943,"sku":"9781108003285","price":160.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/auvres-de-charles-hermite-4-volume-paperback-set-9781108003285","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
