Carl Louis Ferdinand von Lindemann ( 1852 - 1939) est un mathématicien allemand. Il est passé à la postérité pour sa démonstration, publiée en 1882, de la transcendance du nombre π, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'existe aucun polynôme non nul à coefficients rationnels dont π soit une racine . Biographie.

It was not until 1882 that Ferdinand von Lindemann succeeded in proving more strongly that π is a transcendental number, and by doing so also proved the impossibility of squaring the circle with compass and straightedge.
