1. Introduction. The great advances of mathematics in Germany during the first half of the nine-teenth century are to a predominantly large extent associated with the pioneering work of C.F. Gauß (1777–1855), C.G.J. Jacobi (1804–1851), and G. Lejeune Dirich-let (1805–1859).
Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (1805-1859) was a Belgian-born mathematician, noted for his work in algebraic number theory. He invented the algebraic structure known as an “ideal,” so fundamental in ring theory, and is also considered the founder of the theory of Fourier series.

Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was a German mathematician. In number theory, he proved special cases of Fermat's last theorem and created analytic number theory. In analysis, he advanced the theory of Fourier series and was one of the first to give the modern formal definition of a function.
