22. Dirichlet, (Peter Gustav) Lejeune dirichlet, (Peter Gustav) lejeune (18051859) dirichlet was born in Düren,near Aachen, and studied at Cologne and the Collège de France, in Paris. http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/D/Dirichlet/1.ht

Dirichlet, (Peter Gustav) Lejeune German mathematician whose work in applying analytical techniques to mathematical theory resulted in the fundamental development of the theory of numbers. He was also a physicist interested in dynamics. Dirichlet's papers included studies on quadratic forms, the number theory of irrational fields (including the integral complex numbers), and the theory of units. His most important work was on the convergence of the Fourier series, which led him to the modern notion of a generalized function. In 1837 he presented his first paper on analytic number theory, proving Dirichlet's theorem: in every arithmetical sequence a, a + d, a + 2d, and so on, where a and d are relatively prime (that is, have no common divisors other than 1), there is an infinite number of prime numbers. Dirichlet applied his mathematical knowledge to various aspects of physics, such as an analysis of vibrating strings, and to astronomy in a critique of the ideas about the stability of the solar system proposed by French mathematician Pierre Laplace.

Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (1805-1859) Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was born in Düren, then in the French Empire, but now in western Germany, on 13 February 1805 and was educated at the University of Göttingen, where Carl Friedrich Gauss was one of his mentors. He was fluent in both French and German and as such was often involved in communicating ideas between French and Geman mathematicians. He made major contributions in the fields of number theory, analysis and mechanics, and taught in the Universities of Breslau (1827) and Berlin (1828-1855) before succeeding Gauss at the University of Göttingen. It was Dirichlet who proposed (in 1837) the Theorem in his name which states the exisence of an infinite number of primes in any arithmetic series a b b b na b , in which neither of a nor b are divisible by the other. For example, 5, 11, 17, 23 and 29 are among the primes of the form 6 n Independently, he and Legendre independently proved Fermat's Last Theorem for the case n =5, reportedly using an idea suggested by Sophie Germain. Actually, Dirichlet's proof was published in 1825 and reportedly had an error which was corrected by Legendre. He developed the theory of units in algebraic number theory and made major contributions to the theory of ideals.

His book Lectures on Number Theory (1863) is similar in stature to Gauss's earlier Disquisitiones and founded modern algebraic number theory.

'At a meeting of the Accademy of Sciences..., Dirichlet presented his first paper on analytic number theory. In this memoir he gives a proof of the fundamental theorem that bears his name: Any arithmetical series of integers an + b, n = 0, 1, 2, ..., where a and b are relatively prime, must include an infinite number of primes. This result had long been conjectured and Legendre had expended considerable effort upon finding a proof, but it had been established only for a few special cases' (DSB).

Number Theory for the Millenium University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Rare Book Room Exhibit LEJEUNE-DIRICHLET, PETER GUSTAV (1805 - 1859). Vorlesungen uber Zahlentheorie . Braunschweig: 1863. Dirichlet proved that any arithmetic progression without trivial obstructions contains infinitely many primes. His name permeates the introductory study of analytic number theory. In 1850, he was described by a contemporary as follows: "He is a rather tall, lanky-looking man, with moustache and beard about to turn grey, with a somewhat harsh voice and rather deaf. He was unwashed, with his cup of coffee and cigar. One of his failings is forgetting time, he pulls his watch out, finds it past three, and runs out without even finishing the sentence." Dedekind edited Dirichlet's lectures on number theory and published these as Vorlesungen uber Zahlentheorie in 1863. It is noted by H. M. Edwards that: "Although the book is assuredly based on Dirichlet's lectures, and although Dedekind himself referred to the book throughout his life as Dirichlet's, the book itself was entirely written by Dedekind, for the most part after Dirichlet's death."
