Joseph Liouville. Portrait of Joseph Liouville (1809-62),French mathematician. Liouville devel- oped the theory of linear differential equations. He helped to develop the Sturm-Liouville theorem which generalised Fourier's work & is important in physics. He worked on boundary-value problems,differential geometry,conformal transformation theory and complex analysis. His work influenced the development of measure theory and statistical mechanics. He proved the existence of an infinite number of transcendental numbers - those which cannot be solutions of polynomial equations with rational coefficients. He founded the influential Journal de Mathematiques in 1836 | |
