Alexandre-Théophile Vandermonde
Alexandre-Théophile Vandermonde (28 February 1735 – 1 January 1796) was a French mathematician, musician and chemist who worked with Bézout and Lavoisier; his name is now principally associated with determinant theory in mathematics. He was born in Paris, and died there. Biography Vandermonde was a violinist, and became engaged with mathematics only around 1770. In ''Mémoire sur la résolution des équations'' (1771) he reported on symmetric functions and solution of cyclotomic polynomials; this paper anticipated later Galois theory (see also abstract algebra for the role of Vandermonde in the genesis of group theory). In ''Remarques sur des problèmes de situation'' (1771) he studied knight's tours, and presaged the development of knot theory by explicitly noting the importance of topological features when discussing the properties of knots: ''"Whatever the twists and turns of a system of threads in space, one can always obtain an expression for the calculation of its dimen ...
