Early life Bocher was a native of Chicago, where he studied at the Lewis Institute, now the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. He served in intelligence during World War I and stayed in Paris after the war, working as a fashion illustrator for '' Harper's Bazaar'', as Paris fashion editor for ''Vogue'' (1922-1929), and eventually became the editor-in-chief of the French edition of ''Vogue '' in early 1927.

	Maxime Bôcher Maxime Bôcher (August 28, 1867 – September 12, 1918) was an American mathematician who published about 100 papers on differential equations, series, and algebra. He also wrote elementary texts such as ''Trigonometry'' and ''Analytic Geometry''. Bôcher's theorem, Bôcher's equation, and the Bôcher Memorial Prize are named after him. Life Bôcher was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents were Caroline Little and Ferdinand Bôcher. Maxime's father was professor of modern languages at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when Maxime was born, and became Professor of French at Harvard University in 1872.

	Bôcher Memorial Prize The Bôcher Memorial Prize was founded by the American Mathematical Society in 1923 in memory of Maxime Bôcher with an initial endowment of $1,450 (contributed by members of that society). It is awarded every three years (formerly every five years) for a notable research work in analysis that has appeared during the past six years. The work must be published in a recognized, peer-reviewed venue. The current award is $5,000. There have been thirty-seven prize recipients. The first woman to win the award, Laure Saint-Raymond, did so in 2020. About eighty percent of the journal articles recognized since 2000 have been from ''Annals of Mathematics'', the '' Journal of the American Mathematical Society'', ''Inventiones Mathematicae'', and ''Acta Mathematica''.

	Bôcher's Theorem In mathematics, Bôcher's theorem is either of two theorems named after the American mathematician Maxime Bôcher. Bôcher's theorem in complex analysis In complex analysis, the theorem states that the finite zeros of the derivative r'(z) of a non- constant rational function r(z) that are not multiple zeros are also the positions of equilibrium in the field of force due to particles of positive mass at the zeros of r(z) and particles of negative mass at the poles of r(z), with masses numerically equal to the respective multiplicities, where each particle repels with a force equal to the mass times the inverse distance. Furthermore, if ''C''1 and ''C''2 are two disjoint circular regions which contain respectively all the zeros and all the poles of r(z) , then ''C''1 and ''C''2 also contain all the critical points of r(z) . Bôcher's theorem for harmonic functions In the theory of harmonic functions, Bôcher's theorem states that a positive harmonic function in a punctured domai ...
