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 ?cole Polytechnique, the Facult? des Sciences de Paris and the ?cole Normale Sup?rieure 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.Avertissement; Pr?face; 1. Lieu g?om?trique des p?les d'une section conique par rapport ? une autre; 2.
