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; 1. Sur la th?orie des formes; 2. Sur la r?solution de l'?quation; 3. Lettre de Charles Hermite ? M.
